CAMPHORATED 

Leg  and  Body  Wash. 

This  preparation  must  be  diluted  in  the  proportion 
of  one  ounce  of  the  Wash  to  one  quart  of  rain  water, 
and  thus  diluted  to  be  used  as  an  ordinary  wash  for  race 
horses  in  training.  It  will  be  found  superior  to  any  pre- 
paration designed  for  the  same  purpose,  as  it  contains 
properties,  which,  when  applied  as  a  body  wash^  assists 
nature  in  opening  the  pores  of  the  skin,  which  enables 
the  blood  to  throw  off  its  watery  surplus  through  the 
pores,  thereby  reducing  the  temperature  of  the  body  and 
relieving  the  internal  organs  of  circulation  and  respira- 
tion, and  should  always  be  used  in  assisting  a  horse  to 
recover  between   heats  of  a   race. 

As  a  Leg  Wash  it  is  equally  valuable.  Legs  in- 
clined to  inflammation  and  swelling  from  work,  if  ban- 
daged with  wet  bandages  and  kept  moist  Vv'ith  the  Wash 
v/hlie  not  at  work,  will  regain  their  normal  condition, 
without  a   "let  up  ^'    in   train-ng. 

Put  up  in  Quart  Bottles  only,  and  sent  by  Express 
to  any  address  on  receipt  of  price,  $3.00.  One  Quart 
makes   Eight    Gallons   when   diluted.

CHAPTER    I. 

INTRODUCTORY. 


It  Is  my  intention  to  give  in  this  work  a  few  short  and 
sensible  hints  as  a  guide  to  the  horsemen  who  seek  to 
handle  their  own  horses,  who  have  had  little orno  experi- 
ence in  the  art  of  developing  speed.  There  is  no  leger- 
demain or  slight  of  hand  business  about  developing  a 
trotter ;  the  business  was  formerly,  say  twenty-five  years 
ago,  shrouded  in  mystery,  and  a  trainer  of  trotting  horses 
was  looked  upon  as  a  walking  epitome  of  knowledge, 
when  at  the  same  time  nine  out  of  ten  of  these  same  men 
were  comparatively  amateurs.  The  whole  business  of 
developmg  speed  in  horses  is  based  upon  common  sense 
and  the  knowledge  of  the  laws  of  health  as  applied  to  the 
equine  race.  Now,  to  begin  with,  don't  ever  fool  your 
time  away  with  a  dunghill  or  cold-blooded  animal,  one 
that  will  be  looking  for  a  place  to  lie  down  before  he 
gets  to  the  half-mile  pole.  But  don't  understand  me  that 
a  horse  of  whose  breeding  nothing  is  known  is  necessarily 
a  dunghill.  A  well  bred  horse,  if  he  doesn't  look  it,  will 
show  it  in  his  mi/es,  and  there  is  where  breeding  is  of  the 
most  value  and  satisfaction.  But  an  exceptionally  well 
bred  animal  will  never  be  overlooked  by  a  horseman, 
though  he  may  have  no  pedigree  that  anybody  knows  of. 

We  will  take  it  for  granted  that  your  horse  is  broken 
or  has  been  driven  in  harness  ;  if  your  colt  has  never  been 
driven  he  may  be  worth  more  than  if  he  had  been 
handled  by  some  of  the  self-styled  horse  breakers.  In 
the  first  place,  don't  do  anything  to  the  young  horse  to 
shake  his  confidence  in  mankind,  but  try  and  cultivate 
his  confidence  and  respect.  As  gpod  a  way  as  I  know  of  to 


6  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

gentle  green  colts — three,  or  even  four  years  old — is  to 
tie  them  in  a  stall  in  a  barn  with  other  horses  and 
treat  them  just  the  same,  viz:  feed,  water,  bed, 
groom  and  go  through  the  whole  business  with  them 
until  they  become  accustomed  to  the  noise,  and  having 
people  around.  They  will  in  a  couple  of  weeks  be- 
come perfectly  docile.  I  have  found  that  the  less  fuss 
that  was  made  about  hitching  up  a  green  colt  the  better. 
If  you  have  got  a  good  driving  pole  horse,  hitch  the  colt 
in  with  him,  to  some  light  running  vehicle,  having  first 
had  a  harness  on  him  a  few  times  and  a  bit  in  his  mouth, 
and  if  he  has  had  the  proper  kind  of  treatment  around 
the  stable  it  is  a  hundred  to  one  he  will  go  off  readily, 
and  by  the  time  he  has  been  driven  a  mile  he  will  act 
like  a  horse  ;  don't  drive  him  too  far,  two  or  three  miles 
is  far  enough  the  first  time.  Keep  driving  him  every  day 
carefully.  But  if  you  have  not  got  a  good  driving  pole 
horse,  hitch  the  colt  to  a  skeleton  wagon  or  sulky  and 
get  up  behind  him  just  as  though  he  had  been  driven  be- 
fore. Make  him  think  he  is  a  horse,  and  above  all  don't 
fight  him,  and  don't  try  to  pull  his  head  up  too  high  un- 
less you  know  he  is  going  to  kick.  Get  him  to  do  what 
he  does  cheerfully  and  you  will  have  a  better  broken 
horse  in  two  weeks  than  half  the  old  ones  are. 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES. 


CHAPTER  11. 

SHOEING,  FEEDING  AND  WATERING. 

The  colt  should  be  shod  if  worked  on  dirt  roads,  and  if 
snow  or  ice  prevail  shoe  him  all  around  sharp,  so  he  can 
stand  up.  Don't  shoe  him  too  heavy,  a  twelve  or  thirteen 
ounce  shoe  in  front  and  an  eight  ounce  shoe  behind  is 
heavy  enough.  If  you  don't  know  how  to  have  him 
shod,  go  to  the  best  and  most  intelligent  blacksmith  you 
know  and  tell  him  you  want  him  shod  just  as  well  as  he 
would  shoe  a  trotter,  and  pay  him  what  he  asks,  if  he  is 
a  man  of  judgment  and  experience  in  this  kind  of  shoe- 
ing. I  am  not  going  to  write  a  work  on  shoeing  horses  ; 
there  are  too  many  of  that  kind  of  publications  now,  and 
the  more  a  man  reads — the  greater  part  of  them — the 
less  he  knows. 

In  regard  to  feeding,  which  is  a  very  important  part  of 
our  undertaking,  I  will  say:  A  three-year-old  ought  to 
have  at  least  ten  quarts  of  oats  a  day  and  what  hay  he 
will  eat  up  in  an  hour,  say  at  night.  If  you  are  going  to 
make  a  practice  of  driving  him  early  in  the  morning,  give 
him  tw^o  quarts  of  oats  and  a  little  water  before  you 
hitch  him  up ;  it  will  stay  his  stomach  and  he  will  feel 
more  like  going  out.  But  if  you  don't  work  him  until 
late  in  the  forenoon,  give  him  his  full  feed,  four  quarts, 
about  six  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and  a  little  hay.  In 
respect  to  feeding  hay,  or  grain  either,  no  man  can  lay 
down  any  rule  as  to  how  much  any  horse  should  con- 
sume in  24  hours.  They  want  what  they  need  to  supply 
the  natural  waste  of  the  body  and  keep  them  in 
strength  and  flesh  and  growing  every  day.  Here  is  where 
judgment  comes  in  play.  A  colt  doesn't  want  drawing  so 
as  to  make  him  look  gaunt  like  an  old  campaigner, 
neither  do  you  want  to  stuff  him.  In  aged  horses  hay  at 
night  only  will  ordinarily  suffice  if  the  horse  is  a  hearty 


8  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

feeder,  and  again  some  horses  will  not  eat  any  more  than 
they  need  if  they  have  it  by  them  all  day.  Colts,  like 
boys,  ordinarily  have  good  appetites,  and  want  enough  to 
keep  them  growing. 

Give  the  horse  all  the  water  he  wants  at  night,  unless 
he  has  a  race  or  trial  on  hand  for  the  morrow,  when  it 
would  not  be  advisable.  In  the  morning  a  horse,  if  he  is 
in  good  health  and  is  accustomed  to  have  what  water  he 
wants  at  night  after  he  has  finished  his  hay,  will  not  ex- 
hibit much  thirst,  unless  he  is  a  glutton  and  has  gorged 
himself  with  his  bedding,  which  habit  ought  to  be  cur- 
tailed at  once,  for  no  horse  can  be  gotten  into  condition 
or  kept  so,  if  he  eats  all  the  litter  he  can  reach.  In  short, 
water  should  not  be  given  a  horse  in  quantity  when  it  is 
going  to  interfere  with  the  performance  of  his  daily  work. 
Give  him  a  couple  of  swallows  in  the  morning  before  he 
eats  his  feed.  Never  give  him  over  one-half  a  bucket  at 
once  except  at  night,  when  he  may  have  a  reasonable 
.llov^^ance.  Rain,  river  and  spring  water  are  the  kinds 
ordinarily  in  use  for  horses  in  training,  well  water  being 
too  cold,  drawn  directly  from  the  well,  to  give  horses 
with  safety.  A  sudden  change  of  localities,  as  a  cam- 
paign necessitates,  sometimes  compels  a  change  of  water 
from  hard  to  soft,  or  vice  versa,  and  is  attended  alwavs 
with  some  danger  of  relaxation  of  the  bowels,  but  by  add- 
ing a  small  handful  of  linseed  meal  to  a  bucket  of  water 
and  gradually  decreasing  the  quantity,  the  use  of  it  can 
be  discontinued  in  two  or  three  days,  and  your  horse 
wdll  have  become  accustomed  to  the  water.  Water  is 
better  to  stand  in  the  sun  and  air  long  enough  to  ap- 
proach the  temperature  of  the  atmosphere  before  using 
it  if  it  is  well  or  cistern  water.  If  a  horse  is  a  light  and 
delicate  feeder,  the  more  water  you  can  get  him  to  drink 
the  more  he  will  consume  of  feed.  Dainty  feeders  are 
nearly  always  light  drinkers.  The  use  of  water  for  such 
horses  with  just  enough  cream  tartar  in  it  to  assidulate 
it  slightly  has  been  found  beneficial.  If  a  horse  is  in- 
clined to  drink  too  much  put  only  as  much  in  the  bucket 
as  you  want  him  to  drink   at  one   time.     Other  horses 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  ft 

want  a  pailful   set  down  for  them  so  they  can  drink  it 
unobserved. 

In  checking  a  horse  up  you  need  a  check  bit  inde- 
pendent of  the  driving  bit.  Some  horses  will  check 
with  an  old-fashioned  check  rein  and  check  bit  with  the 
gag  runners  sewed  or  hooked  high  on  the  crown  piece  of 
the  headstall,  but  nearly  all  the  trotters  and  pacers  are 
checked  with  an  overdraw  check  running  over  the  top  of 
the  head  and  buckling  into  the  small  check  bit.  You 
want  a  set  of  bandages,  a  couple  of  scrapers  and  plenty 
of  rubbers  made  from  linen  salt  sacks ;  you  want  a  dozen 
for  each  horse  ;  you  want  a  couple  of  soaking  tubs  ;  take  a 
kerosene  oil  barrel  and  saw  off  each  end  with  a  depth  of 
six  or  eight  inches,  fit  some  boards  inside  of  the  chime 
and  screw  them  to  the  head,  so  your  horse  will  not  push 
the  bottom  out  when  he  steps  his  weight  onto  them. 
Wire  spring  skewers  are  essential ;  and  you  also  want  a 
good  muzzle,  but  be  careful  how  you  use  it.  You  will 
need  a  rubbing  out  headstall,  merely  a  strap  over  the  top 
of  the  head,  each  end  buckling  into  the  ring  of  a  bit ; 
you  want  a  foot  and  a  tooth  rasp,  and  numerous  other  ar- 
ticles as  your  wants  will  suggest.  Toe  weights  are  very 
useful  in  some  instances,  and  occasionally  indispensable, 
but  never  use  a  weight  that  you  have  to  fasten  to  the 
foot  with  screws  screwed  into  the  horn.  I  have  seen  in-^ 
flammation  set  up  in  the  foot  from  the  screws  pressing  into 
the  laminse  of  the  foot,  and  severe  lameness  result  from 
their  use.    • 

TEETH. 

The  teeth  in  horses  are  receiving  more  attention  than 
formerly,  as  it  is  a  well  settled  fact  that  their  teeth  are 
subject  to  decay,  ulceration,  irregular  growth  etc.,  same 
as  in  the  human  family,  though  not  perhaps,  in  the  sam^ 
degree.  A  horse  in  his  three  or  four  year  old  forms  '> 
most  liable  to  suffer,  as  the  three-year-old  cuts  foux 
front  teeth  and  eight  back  teeth,  and  in  their  fourth  year 
they  cut  four  front,  eight  back,  and  four  tushes,  and  con- 
siderable irritation  and  fever  often  attend  the  cutting  of 
these  teeth. 


10  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

Attention  should  be  directed  to  the  shedding  of  the 
molars  in  the  three-year-old,  the  roots  becoming  absorbed, 
the  crowns  of  the  teeth  get  loose  and  hang  to  the  gums. 
and  should  be  removed  as  they  will  cut  the  cheek  and 
make  the  mouth  sore.  ]Many  horses  I  am  satisfied  suffer 
from  toothache  with  decayed  teeth,  and  when  a  decayed 
tooth  is  discovered  it  ought  to  be  removed  immediately, 
upon  its  first  attempt  to  ac/ie.  The  presence  of  decayed 
teeth  may  be  detected  by  such  symptoms,  as  improperly 
masticated  food  passing  the  bowels  undigested,  tossing 
the  head,  discharge  from  one  nostril,  irritable  disposition 
pulling  or  driving  on  one  rein,  and  pulling  at  the  bit  or 
refusal  to  take  hold  of  the  bit.  The  remedy  for  de- 
cayed teeth  is  removal.  You  will  need  the  assist- 
ance of  some  one  skilled  in  Veterinary  dentistry,  to  re- 
move a  decayed  molar  tooth.  The  upper  jaw  being 
wider  than  the  under  one,  the  outer  margin  of  the  upper 
grinders  become  sharp,  and  unless  this  over-growth  is 
removed  with  a  tooth-rasp,  the  cheek,  coming  in  contact 
with  the  sharp  edges  of  the  grinders,  gets  sore,  and  check- 
ing a  horse  aggravates  him,  as  it  presses  the  cheek  against 
the  teeth  with  greater  force.  The  inside  margins  of  the 
lower  grinders  get  sharp  in  the  same  w^ay,  and  hurt  the 
tongue,  and  no  horse  can  be  made  to  trot  or  pace  fast, 
that  has  teeth  that  hurt  or  aggravate  him,  and  as  a  trainer, 
you  should  always  keep  a  tooth-rasp  handy,  they  cost  lit- 
tle, and  you  can  remove  the  sharp  edges  of  teeth  as  well 
as  any  one,  but  for  the  extraction  of  a  grinder,  you  had 
better  employ  a  Veterinary  dentist,  as  it  is  quite  an  under- 
taking. The  reason  a  horse  cannot  go  fast  with  teeth 
that  hurt  him  is,  that  if  he  carries  his  head  one  sided,  as 
he  will  invariably  do  if  he  is  driving  on  one  rein,  he  can't 
go  square,  and  is  bound  to  tangle  in  his  gait,  and  of 
course  cannot  speed  fast.  I  have  seen  horses  in  a  race 
in  scoring,  that  carried  their  heads  one  sided,  and  pulled 
on  one  rein  ;  these  horses  were  suffering  from  imperfect 
teeth  or  effects  of  same.  These  horses  knowing  /107a  to 
go,  would  finally  take  hold  of  the  bit  and  go  fast,  but  this 
yva.s  game  in  its  triumph  over  infirmity,  the  horse  having 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  11 

acquired  the  proper  way  of  going,  in  his  course  of  train- 
ing, and  possessing  the  spirit  to  door  tf/e,  he  takes  hold  of 
the  bit,  though  it  may  be  ever  so  painful,  and  tries  to  get 
there.  Horses  possessing  this  valuable  inheritance, 
known  as  game^  (  which  is  by  the  way  imparted  from  one 
generation  to  the  othei  ),  are  very  dangerous  competitors 
in  a  race.

CHAPTER  III. 

CLOTHING,  HARNESS,  BITS,  ETC. 

There  are  different  opinions  about  blankets  and  cover- 
ing for  horses  in  the  stable.  I  don't  believe  a  horse 
needs  anything  more  than  to  make  him  comfortable.  No 
horse  ought  to  sweat  under  the  blankets  in  the  stable, 
and  he  should  be  provided  v/ith  changes,  so  he  can  be 
made  comfortable  in  any  change  of  the  temperature.  In 
winter,  if  he  is  clipped,  he  must  be  provided  with  extra 
clothing,  unless  the  stable  is  heated  artificially,  and  for 
out  door  use  the  blanket  for  clipped  horses  should  be 
large  enough  to  cover  them  well  down  toward  their  feet, 
and  the  shed  ought  to  be  a  very  warm  one,  or  they  ought 
not  to  be  left  under  it  at  all  if  it  is  a  cold  day.  A  single 
strap  rubber  trimmed  harness  with  a  good,  substantial, 
three  inch  saddle  and  fiat  lines,  all  made  from  Maffot's 
leather,  is  good  enough  for  anybody  and  looks  as  well  as 
any  harness  that  was  ever  made.  Horses  ordinarily  act 
as  well  in  a  headstall  with  winkers  as  any,  although  some 
flighty,  nervous  horses,  and  shyers,  act  better  in  an  open 
bridle.  Experiment  will  teach  you  which  kind  of  head- 
stall to  adopt.  There  are  a  thousand  styles  of  bits,  but 
the  ordinary  jointed  bit,  known  as  the  Dexter  trotting 
snaffle,  is  as  good  as  any.  Some  horses  act  better  with 
a  plain  bar  bit  than  any  other,  but  use  the  one  your 
horses  appear  to  like  best.  Don't  make  a  puller  of  him 
by  driving  him  on  a  bit  he  is  continually  fighting  against.

CHAPTER  IV. 

OBJECT    OF  WORKING    HORSES WORK    FOR    AGED    HORSES. 

It  is  important  for  the  amateur  to  understand  why  he 
is  working  his  horse.  What  is  the  object  of  it?  Why 
to  develop  his  speed,  of  course.  But  not  one  man  in  ten 
can  give  you  an  intelligent  answer  to  your  questions  as 
why  do  you  do  so  and  so.  Now  no  horse  can  go  any 
faster  than  he  has  got  power  to  carry  him.  If  the  speed 
is  not  in  him,  no  man  can  make  him  show  it. 

Speed  is  the  physical  capacity  or  power  to  get  over 
the  ground  at  a  rapid  rate.  A  horse  may  have  appa- 
rently the  physical  capacity  to  go  fast,  but  does  not  and 
can  not;  he  maybe  proportioned  correctly  and  fill  all 
the  dimensions  of  the  fape  li7ie  trotter  and  lookXxV^  a  trot- 
ter, but  can't  go  on — and  here  is  where  those  knowing 
men  get  left  in  trying  to  pick  out  a  trotter  with  a  tape 
line  and  references  to  the  stud  books.  A  horse  without 
the  inborn  disposition  to  go  on  and  get  there  is  no  good, 
no  matter  how  he  is  bred,  how  he  is  formed,  or  how  he 
is  gaited.  You  get  him  in  a  tight  place  where  it  is  nec- 
essary for  him  to  extend  himself  and  he  will  shut  up  like 
a  jack  knife,  and  quit  without  any  apparent  reason,  only 
that  he  don't  seem  to  want  to  do  it.  If  a  horse  is  strong 
2iXiAhas  the  disposition  to  go  on,  if  he  is  not  quite  per- 
fectly gaited,  he  will  oftener  surprise  you  by  his  rapid 
improvement  than  would  a  finely  gaited  one,  and  just  as 
strong  and  sound,  that  don't  care  whether  he  gets  there 
or  not. 

We  will  assume  that  you  have  got  a  horse  sound  and 
live  years  old,  that  has  a  gait  that  is  pure  enough  to  carry 
him  a  mile  in  2:3c,  when  in  condition  to  go  a  mile ;  and 
this  horse  has  never  had  an  attempt  made  to  develop  the 
speed  he  is  supposed  to  possess.  We  will  also  assume 
that  nt    is   early    spring,  the  roads  are  in    condition    to 


14  ^  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

■drive  upon,  and  you  are  situated  so  you  can  give  tnis 
horse  all  the  attention  he  needs  to  develop  the  latent 
speed  he  is  expected  in  the  near  future  to  exhibit.  I  will 
say  a  few  words  respecting  the  quarters  you  give  the  horse 
to  occupy,  A  box  stall  twelve  by  fourteen  feet,  with  a 
plank  floor  not  too  tight  to  prevent  the  urine  from  run- 
ning through,  will  answer,  and  the  floor  should  be  far 
enough  from  the  ground  not  to  be  damp.  Arrangements 
should  be  made  to  properly  drain  the  grounds  in  the 
vicinity  of  barns  and  stabling,  as  horses  are,  in  my  judg- 
ment, susceptible  to  malarial  disorders,  as  well  as  the 
human  family.  I  do  not  like  an  underground  barn  with 
stalls  for  horses  over  the  basement,  as  there  is  always  a 
draft  through  any  aperture  there  may  be  in  the  floor,  and 
horses'  feet  dry  up  when  kept  in  such  a  place,  and  require 
a  great  deal  of  attention.  A  clay  or  earth  floor  is  not 
desirable  for  horses  doing  fast  work  and  sweating  consid- 
erably, as  they  are  liable  to  contract  colds,  coughs  and 
rheumatic  troubles  from  lying  on  these  ground  floors  with 
nothing  but  straw  between  them  and  the  earth.  Don't 
let  your  horse  lie  on  the  ground  if  you  are  working  him 
for  speed. 

It  is  understood  by  you,  of  course,  that  proper  venti- 
lation is  desirable,  as  is  also  light.  The  windows  for 
ventilating  the  stable  should  be  about  six  feet  from  the 
floor,  so  that  any  draft  through  these  windows  will  not 
strike  the  horse.  We  will  suppose  this  horse  as  yet  has 
not  shown  any  disposition  to  interfere  or  cut  himself  any- 
where ;  ..this  being  the  case,  you  have  not  got  to  worry 
yourself  about  the  shoeing,  a  very  great  relief,  I  assure 
you.  Now  you  want  to  make  a  firm  resolve  not  to  speed 
this  horse,  either  for  your  own  or  any  other  person's  grat- 
ification or  amusement,  until  he  has  had  some  work 
and  got  strong,  and  has  learned  something  about  going 
along— if  you  expect  to  make  a  trotter  out  of  him.  Walk- 
ing exercise  has  been  found  not  absolutely  necessary,  as 
formerly  indulged  in.  Old  time  trainers  used  to  begin 
by  giving  horses  walking  exercise  in  the  spring  tor  two  or 
three  weeks  before  they  even  thought  of  driving  them  in 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  15 

harness ;  but  I  believe  that  a  horse  is  safer  in  the  hands 
of  the  trainer,  hooked  to  a  light  wagon  or  sulky,  than  he 
is  in  the  care  of  a  boy  doing  his  walking  work  out  of 
sight  of  the  barn.  You  may  commence  by  jogging  and 
walking  a  little,  say  five  or  six  miles  (in  the  forenoon  is  the 
best  time)  for  the  first  week  or  ten  days.  Ten  quarts  of  oats 
in  three  feeds,  of  four  quarts  in  the  morning,  two  at  noon, 
and  four  again  at  night,  with  some  hay,  ought  to  be  enough 
for  him,  and  you  ought  to  see  him  begin  to  improve  in 
the  way  he  does  his  work  as  well  as  in  appearance.  By 
this  tune  he  will  be  in  shape  to  send  along  a  little,  and 
you  ought  to  increase  his  work  a  little,  and  likewise  the 
amount  of  oats,  say  to  twelve  quarts  per  day;  but  if  you 
observe  that  he  don't  like  the  increased  amount  of  work, 
wait  a  week  more.  By  this  time  the  muscles  must  have 
tone  enough  in  them  to  carry  him  along  on  a  good  road 
a  ten-mile-an-hour  clip,  for  four  or  five  miles,  without 
much  apparent  fatigue.  But  don't  begin  to  brush  him 
yet;  he  wants  to  be  able  to  jog  his  ten  miles  out  in  an 
hour  easy  before  you  commence  to  call  on  him.  If  he  is 
the  horse  we  think  he  is,  he  will  soon  commence  to  do  his 
brushing  himself.  And  here  is  where  you  want  to  use 
judgment;  right  here  is  where  one-half  the  good  horses 
are  ruined.  If  he  now  commences  to  take  hold  of  the  bit 
and  go  away  at  a  rapid  clip,  steady  him  carefully,  and 
take  him  back  before  he  commences  to  tangle  or  tire. 
The  chances  are  at  this  time,  if  you  let  him  go  on  and 
trot  over  himself  and  go  infeo  a  break,  he  will  hit  himself 
somewhere,  and  it  will  set  him  back  in  his  training  weeks, 
and  perhaps  spoil  him.  Don't  let  him  go  to  a  break* 
trotters  nowadays  don't  leave  their  feet  often  when  they^ 
Kppt  5.-.an.-  tK£»y  don't  have  time. 


16  BAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 


CHAPTER  V. 

SHOEING,  BOOTS,  CARE  AFTER  WORK,  iiTC. 

Up  to  this  time,  perhaps,  you  have  seen  no  occasion  to 
change  his  shoeing,  except  to  have  them  removed  and  re- 
set, which  ought  to  be  done  once  in  three  weeks  at  tbe 
longest.  You  now  want  to  observe  closely  how  he  carries 
his  legs,  and  if  he  is  brushing  himself  anywhere.  Young 
horses  often  exhibit  a  propensity  to  shove  the  hind  foot 
under  the  front  foot  and  brush  the  hoof  up  at  the  coro- 
net, which  is  called  "  scalping."  If  your  horse  does  f/iis, 
get  a  pair  of  scalping  boots  the  first  thing  you  do,  and 
wear  them  on  him  in  this  work.  Horses  do  this  scalping 
while  jogging,  but  it  gets  them  into  the  habit  of  single 
footing,  and  when  they  get  this  habit  it  takes  a  long 
time  to  restore  their  confidence  so  they  will  go  square 
again.  All  horses,  or  nearly  all  that  can  go  fast,  go  with 
their  hind  feet  outside  of  their  forward  ones.  You  also 
want  to  observe  if  this  horse  brushes  his  hind  pasterns 
with  the  outside  of  the  shoes  of  the  front  feet  ;  this  is 
called  speedy  cutting.  If  your  horse,  in  your  judgment, 
-can  show  indications  of  a  three  minute  clip  or  better, 
look  out  for  this  speedy  cutting  business.  If  you  are 
working  him  on  a  half  mile  tsack  he  will  probably  brush 
himself  here  while  making  the  turns,  which  will  have  the 
-eff'ect  to  scare  him  and  make  him  unsteady  and  break. 
Now  if  your  horse  ever  goes  to  a  break  when  he  is  mov- 
ing within  his  speed,  he  has  hit  himself  somewhere,  and 
you  should  get  right  out  and  see  about  it  at  once. 
If,  upon  examination,  you  find  he  has  hit  himself,  don't 
start  him  up  again  until  he  is  protected.  If  he  is  shod 
all  right  don't  expect  to  remedy  the  difficulty  by  chang- 
ing shoes  unless  the  trouble  is  apparent.  Clinches  some 
times  work  out  by  the  head  of  the  nail  striking  a 
stone    and  driving  it   up;   to  avoid  this  have  the  shoer 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  17 

file  the  heads  of  the  nails  down  even  with  the  shoe, 
then  the  clinches  will  not  work  out  to  bother  you. 
And  here  is  something  I  want  you  to  recollect  about 
shoeing  for  interfering  or  knee  knocking.  Don't  ever 
take  any  portion  of  the  wall  of  the  foot  away  in  any  case. 
All  you  take  off  the  inside  of  the  feet  just  so  much  nearer 
together  the  horse's  feet  will  be  whether  in  motion  or 
standing,  and  you  spoil  the  shape  of  the  foot  and  weaken 
it.  Horses  sometimes  interfere  and  hit  themselves  with- 
out any  fault  of  the  shoer.  Perhaps  the  animal  has  not 
learned  to  travel,  is  weak,  or  a  dozen  other  causes  no 
blacksmith  is  responsible  for. 

In  bringing  your  horse  in  from  a  drive  after  he  has 
acquired  some  strength,  let  him  come  home  in  shape,  so 
you  can  scrape  a  little  sweat  out  of  him  after  he  has 
stood  with  a  woolen  sheet  on  him  a  few  minutes,  or  while 
you  are  hanging  up  his  harness.  If  he  breaks  out  in 
perspiration  strip  off  the  sheet  and  scrape  him  out  as  dry 
as  possible  and  throw  the  sheet  over  his  back  and  loins, 
and  commence  and  rub  out  his  head  and  ears  and  neck, 
and  finally  his  whole  body  Don't  put  him  in  the  stall 
until  he  is  cooled  off,  so  he  will  not  break  out  again.  It 
may  take  three  quarters  of  an  hour,  probably;  you  need 
not  rub  all  the  time.  Pin  the  sheet  on  him  and  walk 
him  around  in  the  sun  and  out  of  a  draft,  and  before  you 
get  done  with  him  wash  out  his  feet  clean  and  brush  him 
all  over;  brush  out  his  mane  and  foretop  and  tail,  but 
don't  tear  out  any  hair.  If  it  is  time  to  feed  now,  give 
him  a  suck  of  water  and  his  dinner,  and  go  and  get  your 
own.  The  best  rubbers  I  have  ever  seen  are  Ashton  salt 
sacks  cut  into  four  pieces.  Always  have  plenty  of  clean, 
dry  rubbers  on  hand;  you  can't  dry  out  a  horse  with  a 
dirty,  damp  rubber.  There  is  considerable  work  about 
training  one  horse  if  you  do  all  the  work  yourself.  But 
your  ingenuity  will  devise  some  way  to  get  along  with 
the  work.  I  have  never  seen  a  man  yet  who  liked  to  ride 
behind  a  good  horse  and  do  the  driving,  but  who  would 
manage  some  way  to  have  some  body  around  the  barn 
when  he  got  back  to  help  do  up  the  trotter. 


18  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

Don't  be  afraid  to  give  your  horse  some  grass.  Let 
him  pick  it  himself  in  the  latter  part  of  the  afternoon  if 
you  work  him  in  the  forenoon,  and  if  he  at  any  time  is 
constipated  give  him  a  big  bran  mash  at  night  with  some 
salt  in  it.  Keep  his  bowels  open  unless  he  is  of  a  washy 
constitution  and  inclined  to  scour;  you  must  use  judg- 
ment. A  horse  that  scours  (or  in  other  vv'ords  exhibits 
an  unnatural  looseness  of  the  bowels)  is  out  of  shape 
some  where,  and  is  probably  the  result  of  indigestion  or 
derangement  of  the  stomach  and  bowels.  If  you  live 
near  a  good  veterinary  surgeon,  consult  him;  it  will  be 
cheaper  in  the  end.  However,  I  have  corrected  this 
trouble  more  than  once  by  giving  a  tablespoonful  of 
powdered  charcoal  three  times  a  day  in  the  feed. 

The  feet  and  legs  must  be  looked  after  now;  don't 
soak  your  horse  out  too  much  in  hot  or  any  other  water, 
because  you  have  seen  some  other  trainer  do  it.  It 
might  have  been  necessary  in  the  case,  of  an  old  ringer 
that  had  to  be  scalded  every  day  to  keep  him  on  earth. 
Jack  Phillips  has  probably  won  more  races  with  hot 
water  than  any  other  man  in  this  country.  He  knows 
when  to  use  it.  If  you  don't  detect  any  fever  in  the 
legs,  or  inclination  to  swell  over  night,  your  horse  is  all 
right,  and  a  good  walk  in  the  grass  in  the  morning  when 
the  dew  is  on  is  as  good  a  poultice  as  the  feet  can  have. 
Don't  oil  or  anoint  the  feet,  or  stuff  them,  if  they  don't 
need  it.  Blue  clay  or  moss  wet  in  water  is  the  oest  stuff- 
ing, and  oils  are  a  detriment,  I  think. 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  19 


CHAPTER  VI 

FASTER   WORK,  REPEATS,  ETC. 

About  four  weeks  must  have  elapsed  by  this  time,  and 
you  can  now  begin  to  call  on  the  horse  for  a  brush  occa- 
sionally in  his  work.  Don't  brush  him  over  a  quarter 
yet  at  a  time,  and  not  too  often,  and  never  up  to  the  full 
measure  of  his  speed.  Some  horses  will  take  more  work 
than  others,  but  an  ordinary  well-bred  horse  ought  to  jog 
out  ten  or  twelve  miles  a  day  to  a  wagon  in  about  an 
hour  without  falling  off  any  in  appearance,  condition  or 
feelings.  After  you  commence  to  brush  the  horse  along 
in  his  daily  work,  your  judgment  ought  to  guide  you  as 
to  whether  you  are  overworking  him  or  not. 

I  suppose  you  think  you  ought  to  give  him  a  big  scrape 
now.  Perhaps  it  is  not  necessary ;  a  neck  sweat  and 
hood  may  reduce  the  throat  and  neck  enough,  and  per- 
haps he  don't  want  any  scrape  of  the  body  more  than  he 
gets  every  day  in  his  work  yet  a  while.  I  will,  further 
on  in  the  work,  give  you  a  scientific  explanation  of  a 
scrape,  how  to  do  it  and  what  to  do  it  for.  It  is  about 
time  this  horse  had  a  half  mile  trial.  If  you  have  any 
suspicion  he  will  hit  his  knees,  protect  him.  The  night 
before  you  give  him  the  trial,  give  him  about  half  the 
amount  of  hay  he  ordinarily  has  and  about  two-thirds 
the  usual  quantity  of  water ;  in  the  morning  give  him  two 
quarts  of  oats  at  the  usual  time  of  feeding  (we  assume 
you  have  been  giving  him  his  breakfast  in  one  feed  up  to 
this  time)  and  no  hay  of  any  account.  Give  him  a  couple 
or  quarts  of  water  when  you  go  to  the  stable  in  the 
morning,  and  after  he  has  eaten  his  oats  and  a  very  little 
hay  let  him  have  two  or  three  swallows  more.  Hook 
him  up  about  ten  o'clock,  the  food  having  had  time  to 
assimilate,  and  jog  him  out  five  miles;  then  give  him  a 
swallow  of  water,  and  give  him  a  half  mile,  commencing 


20  HAY  SEED,  OR  HO\V  TO 

to  call  on  him  as  you  approach  the  half  mile  pole  and 
send  him  for  all  he  is  worth  till  you  get  to  the  win,  with- 
out letting  him  leave  his  feet.  Have  some  friend  you 
can  rely  on  to  hold  the  watch  that  can  catch  the  time 
correctly,  and  that  won't  lie  to  you.  If  your  horse  has 
shown  a  half  in  1:25,  you  have  got  a  quite  promising 
young  horse  that  has  only  been  worked  four  weeks.  This 
is  a  50  clip,  and  lots  of  them  can't  do  it  that  have  been 
worked  all  summer.  Now  jog  your  horse  to  the  stable 
and  do  him  up  in  good  shape.  The  first  thing  you  do, 
put  a  set  of  linen  bandages  wet  in  warm  water  on  his 
legs,  all  round,  and  let  them  stay  on  till  they  get  dry  or 
the  horse  has  cooled  out,  then  take  them  off,  hand  rub 
the  legs  a  little,  and  if  you  don't  see  any  swelling  or  heat 
in  the  legs  they  are  all  right  and  he  has  done  well.  Work 
him  now  just  the  same  as  you  have  all  along;  in  a  week 
give  him  a  trial  a  mile  out.  If  he  has  improved  he  ought 
to  show  you  a  mile  in  2:45.  I^  ^^  should  chance  to  be 
one  of  those  phenomenal  trotters  of  the  period,  he  might 
go  so  fast  your  hair  would  turn  gray  in  the  mile.  Soberly 
speaking,  the  speed  shown  at  the  pre':ent  day  by  horses 
with  comparatively  little  training,  and  in  the  hands  of 
amateurs  in  some  cases,  is  truly  marvelous.  They  break 
out  at  different  places,  hundreds  of  miles  apart,  but  al- 
most without  exception  upon  investigation  it  is  discov- 
ered that  these  horses  are  bred  to  go  fast  and  stay  the 
distance.  You  will,  by  observing  how  your  horse  finishes 
his  first  mile,  be  able  to  determine  to  a  great  extent 
what  kind  of  a  horse  you  have.  If  he  finishes  his  mile 
as  though  he  had  another  mile  in  him,  and  trots  the  last 
half  a  couple  of  seconds  the  fastest,  and  does  not  show 
much  distress  in  breathing,  and  his  legs  tremble  but 
slightly  if  any,  you  may  conclude  you  have  got  quite  a 
horse,  providing,  of  course,  he  has  done  his  mile  in  as 
good  time  as  you  have  reason  to  expect  of  him.  You 
ought  not  to  have  driven  him  to  a  break  in  either  of  these 
trials.  He  had  better  have  a  little  speed  left  in  him  than 
to  have  gone  to  a  break.  In  ten  days,  if  he  is  improving, 
give  him  another  trial,  a  mile  and  repeat.      Don't  try  to 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IX  HORSES.  21 

drive  all  the  speed  out  of  him  the  first  heat,  and  if  he  acts 
as  though  he  had  plenty  more  in  him,  give  him  the  sec- 
ond mile  with  an  interval  of  twenty  minutes  or  half  an 
hour  between  the  heats.  As  soon  as  you  have  finished 
the  first  heat,  unhook  him  from  the  sulky,  pull  off  his 
harness  and  throw  a  sheet  on  him ;  give  him  two  or  three 
swallows  of  water,  and  in  three  or  four  minutes,  while 
you  are  walking  him  around,  he  will  break  out  in  a  pro- 
fuse perspiration.  (Don't  get  in  a  draft  with  him.)  Com- 
mence and  scrape  out  his  neck  and  shoulders  and  finally 
his  whole  body;  have  a  couple  of  boys  who  can  help  rub 
him  up,  and  in  course  of  twenty  minutes  he  will  be  suffi- 
ciently recovered  to  harness  again  and  prepare  for  the 
next  heat.  If  he  has  worn  any  boots  ia  the  first  trial, 
remove  them  as  soon  as  he  is  unharnessed  and  see  that 
they  have  not  chafed  him,  and  put  them  back  on  the  last 
thing  before  you  hitch  him  in  the  sulky  for  the  last  heat. 
Jog  him  a  mile  or  two,  and,  remember,  always  to  jog 
your  horses  the  reverse  way  of  the  track,  and  if  any  other 
party  is  driving  the  rig/i^  way  of  the  track  and  you  meet 
them,  give  them  the  pole,  or  pass  to  the  left,  they  pass- 
ing you  on  your  right.  In  working  a  horse  the  reverse 
way  of  the  track,  and  only  turning  him  when  you  want  to 
speed  him,  he  acquires  the  habit  of  getting  away  rapidly. 
A  very  important  thing  for  a  trotter  to  know  is  how  to 
score  well;  it  frequently  wms  a  race.  Up  to  this  time, 
I  have  counciled  extreme  caution,  which  every  trainer 
will  tell  you  is  safer  that  to  rush  business.

CHAPTER  VII. 

SWEATING  SCRAPES,   THEIR  EFFECT  AND  REASONS  FOR. 

I  have  promised  to  give  you  a  chapter  on  sweating,  and 
I  will  quote  from  that  eminent  authority  on  the  subject, 
Joseph  Carn  Simpson : 

The  natural  outlets  of  the  body  are  the  skin,  bowels 
and  kidneys.  With  their  aid  we  get  rid  of  what  the  old 
trainers  called  the  waste  and  spare.  We  can  increase 
the  action  of  them  all  by  articles  given  as  food  or  medi- 
cine. The  evacuations  through  the  numerous  pores  of 
the  skin  are  what  we  call  sweating,  the  effects  of  which — 
when  properly  used — being  to  bring  a  horse  into  such  a 
state,  called  condition,  that  he  can  do  without  injury, 
what  would  be  an  impossibility  for  him  to  perform  with- 
out its  aid.  1  have  signified  my  objections  to  stimulating 
the  bowels  and  kidneys  by  cathartics  and  diuretics  as 
aids  of  training,  and  I  must  necessarily  show  that  condi- 
tion can  be  acquired  without  their  help.  Sweating  has 
two  distinct  things  to  perform  :  the  first,  to  give  freedom 
to  the  respiratory  organs  and  the  action  of  the  heart,  which 
we  may  call  internal  relief;  the  second,  to  promote  the 
strength  and  activity  of  the  muscles  and  lighten  the  load 
to  be  carried,  which,  with  the  same  propriety,  may  be 
term.ed  external  relief.  The  organs  of  respiration  are  the 
lungs,  bronchial  tubes,  trachea  or  wind-pipe,  glottis  or 
valve,  at  the  extremity  of  the  trachea,  nasal  passages 
and  nostrils.  It  requires  study  to  understand  the  work- 
ings of  the  organs  of  circulation  and  breathing,  and 
I  must  confess  that  I  am  not  capable  of  understanding 
any  of  the  treatises  that  I  have  read  on  the  subject  suffi- 
ciently to  explain  them,  or  to  make  them  as  intelligible  to 
you  as  they  are  to  mc,  though  the  dediiciiofis  drawn  from 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  23 

the  statements  I  am  ,i^\'>nig  to  make  I  know  to  be  correct. 
They  have  been  demonstrated  by  my  practice,  and  since 
I  have  followed  my  present  plan  of  sweating  I  have  never 
had  a  horse  become  baked  or  feverish,  which  was  fre- 
quently the  case  when  I  sweated  them  without  thinking 
of  the  causes  why  it  should  be  done,  or  was  aware  of  the 
results  that  might  be  expected  to  follow. 

The  action  of  the  heart  is  so  closely  identified  with  the 
lungs  that  both  have  to  be  taken  into  consideration. 
Quicken  the  motion  of  the  one  and  you  accelerate  the 
other,  but  not  in  the  same  proportion.  For  instance, 
when  a  horse  is  breathing  tranquilly  the  respirations 
are  from  four  to  eight  in  a  minute,  and  the  pulsations 
thirty-six  to  forty.  As  you  increase  the  motion  of  the 
lungs  by  fast  work,  the  respirations  will  be  multiplied 
till  the  ratio  wdll  be  as  one  to  two,  possibly  two  to 
three.  'Suppose  that,  in  driving  your  horse,  you  keep  up 
the  rate  of  speed  until  he  becomes  distressed  ;  the  respi- 
ration? would  probably  be  forty  to  forty-five  times  in  a 
minute,  with  the  pulsations  at  seventy-five  to  eighty. 
The  inspirations  at  times-.would  be  a  good  deal  longer 
than  the  expirations,  frequently  sighing  and  "  blowing 
out  "  suddenly.  This  arises  from  the  amount  of  adipose 
matter  interfering  with  the  heart  and  lungs,  restricting 
the  first  and  enfeebling  the  others,  and  it  would  be  along 
time  before  he  would  recover  and  the  circulation  and 
breathing  be  restored  to  their  natural  condition.  You 
get  rid  of  the  superfluities,  and  drive  him  until  he  exhibits 
great  fatigue,  having  gone  perhaps  two  or  three  miles,  the 
respirations  have  increased  to  two-thirds  that  of  the  heart. 
Still  the  expirations  and  inspirations  are  nearly  equal,  and 
there  is  very  little  if  any. sighing.  He  blows  out  freely 
and  forcibly,  recovering  the  natural  breathing  in  much 
less  time  than  before.  In  the  first  case  he  would  have 
been  "  dead  beat ;  "  in  the  second,  by  taking  a  pull  he 
would  "  come  again  '  and  make  another  struggle.  This 
shows  that  rapid  respiration  and  arterial  action  can  be 
kept  up  if  the  organs  are  in  a  proper  state.  The  main 
muscle  acting  on  the  lungs  and  assisting  in  respiration  is 


24  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

the  diaphragm.  In  forcible  expiration  the  abdominal 
muscles  act  with  great  power.  It  will  be  useless  to  take 
much  time  to  show  that  if  an  excessive  deposit  of  fat 
exists  their. aid  will  be  much  diminished.  Fat  within  the 
chest  is  laid  in  layers  beneath  the  serous  coating,  and 
about  the  base  of  the  heart.  It  materially  affects  the 
breathing  by  encroaching  on  the  pulmonary  chamber, 
and  interfering  with  the  expansion  of  the  lungs,  so  that 
the  minute  air  cells  can  not  be  filled  to  the  extent  of  their 
capacity  as  thry  can  when  freed  from  this  obstruction. 
If  the  heart  is  healthy,  there  is  room  within  the  pericar- 
dium for  all  its  motions,  contraction  and  expansion  not 
being  greatly  restricted  by  the  outside  coating  of  fat. 
But  this  coating  t^oes  affect  the  equalization  or  rythm 
of  the  pulsations  when  the  action  is  hurried,  so  it 
becomes  necessary  to  remove  the  obstruction  here  as 
elsewhere.  The  change  in  the  blood,  from  the  time  it 
leaves  the  heart  by  the  arteries  till  it  is  returned  by  the 
veins,  after  having  been  aerated  in  the  lungs,  is  a  won- 
derful provision  of  nature  for  it  to  obtain  properties  from 
the  atmosphere  essential  to  the  existence  of  life. 

The  passage  of  the  blood  to  the  extremities  of  the 
vessels  that  convey  it,  is  accompanied  in  swjating  by 
another  phenomenon,  viz:  the  forcing  the  moisture 
through  the  pores  of  the  skin,  which  we  call  sweat.  In 
the  evacuations  from  the  bowels  and  kidneys  there  is 
never  a  particle  of  fat,  and  the  emaciation  following  purg- 
ing or  excessive  stalling  is  not  due  to  fat  being  carried 
from  the  body  directly,  but  to  causes  resulting  therefrom. 
In  exudation,  however,  the  oily  part  of  the  blood  is  got 
rid  of  as  well  as  the  watery  fluid  that  accompanies  it. 
You  will  perceive,  when  a  horse  takes  his  first  sweats,  the 
moisture  is  of  a  thick,  unctious  nature,  forming  a  lather 
like  soap  when  it  meets  with  friction  from  the  clothes  or 
harness.  As  the  horse's  body  becoiies  freed  from  impur- 
ities, the  sweat  becomes  thinner  and  cleaner,  finally  hav- 
ing the  appearance  ot  clean  water  as  it  trickles  down  his 
legs.  The  skin,  then  appears  to  be  the  most  direct  way 
of  getting  rid  of  the  fat,  and  not  only  the  most  direct  but 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  35 

the  most  natural.  The  fat,  in  the  first  place,  being  depos- 
ited by  the  blood,  the  loss  of  the  oily  portion  in  sweating 
is  replaced  by  the  absorbants  working  on  the  surplus  in 
store,  removing  it  from  where  the  original  deposit  was 
made,  and,  as  the  sweatings  are  continued,  exhausting  all 
that  we  desire  to  get  rid  of.  There  are  other  changes, 
probably,  that  take  place  in  the  blood,  one  being  a  greater 
fluidity,  perhaps  occasioned  by  an  increase  of  heat.  It 
would  appear  that  the  abstraction  of  the  watery  particles 
would  have  a  contrary  effect,  yet  I  am  satisfied  that  this 
is  counteracted  by  an  opposing  force,  which  I  cannot 
explain,  rendering  the  arteries  and  veins  less  liable  to 
engorgement  than  when  the  circulating  fluid  had  proper- 
ties which  made  it  more  difiicult  to  propel  through  them. 
From  the  relief  afforded  by  copious  and  repeated  sweat- 
ings, we  might  infer  that  the  abstraction  of  the  fatty 
globules  in  the  blood  was  the  means  of  lessening  the 
labor  of  the  heart,  which  is  of  the  greatest  importance 
when  the  blood  is  sent  bounding  along  more  than  twice 
as  fast  as  when  the  animal  is  at  rest.  The  theory  that  the 
pulsation  keeps  time  to  the  step  is,  I  believe,  correct  when 
the  action  is  much  hurried.  Hence,  when  a  horse  is  mak- 
ing a  fraction  more  than  two  bounds  in  a  second,  the  work 
of  the  heart  is  greatly  increased,  and  the  labor  of  that 
vital  force-pump  would  be  much  lessened  by  the  blood 
being  easier  to  urge  through  the  tubing  of  the  veins  as 
fast  as  the  accelerated  pace  required  that  it  should  be. 
It  will  be  readily  seen  that  nearly  all  the  inside  fat  will 
have  to  be  got  away  before  the  respiratory  organs  are 
capable  of  performing  their  functions  in  a  manner  that 
will  endure  fast  work.  The  heart  is  also  facilitated  in  its 
operations  by  the  removal,  and  the  diaphragm  and  abdom- 
inal muscles  can  act  with  far  greater  force.  The  whole 
internal  economy  is  in  a  measure  changed,  the  muscles 
of  the  stomach  are  strengthened,  and  digestion  is  better 
and  more  rapid.  The  gastric  juices  are  more  intimately 
blended  with  the  contents  of  the  stomach,  and  the  waste 
for  the  bowels  to  carry  off  is  less  acrid  and  easier  expelled. 
We  will  also  find  that  the  same  process  will  get  rid  of  the 


26  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

external  fat,  and  while  the  load  is  lightened  for  the  horse 
to  carry,  and  ihe  muscular  system  is  brought  to  a  higher 
state  of  vigor,  it  also  assists  in  the  expansion  of  the  chest. 
The  intercostal  muscles,  or  the  muscles  between  the  ribs, 
have  a  good  deal  to  do  with  respiration,  and  the  reduction 
of  the  neck  removes  the  unnecessary  load  of  fat  which 
surrounds  the  wind-pipe,  giving  more  room  for  it  to  con- 
vey the  air  to  the  bronchial  tubes,  and  through  them  to 
the  lungs.  I  have  just  said  that  the  same  process  gets 
rid  of  fat  whenever  it  is  deposited  either  among  the  inter- 
nal vicera  or  where  it  surrounds  the  muscles.  This  is  so, 
yet  we  can  so  modify  it  in  practice  that  the  effect  will  be 
greater  in  absorbing  the  interior  than  the  exterior  deposit. 
Thus  you  will  frequently  see  an  animal  in  racing  condi- 
tion w^ith  a  fair  covering  of  hard  flesh  over  the  general 
exterior  of  the  body.  I'ill  we  remove  from  the  lungs  and 
heart  the  adipose  deposit  that  hinders  their  working,  we 
cannot  give  exercise  to  be  of  much  benefit  to  the  muscles 
of  locomotion.  The  first  sweats,  then,  will  have  to  be 
given  independent  of  speed,  which  these  organs  are  yet 
unable  to  endure.  The  questions  attending  sweating  for 
the  outward  formation  are  not  so  complicated.  The 
muscles  are  masses  of  elastic  fibers,  terminated  by  the 
tendons  on  which  they  act  by  contraction  and  relaxation. 
Thus,  while  one  set  exert  their  force  in  one  direction 
by  contraction,  the  opposite  are  lengthened  so  not  to 
interfere  with  the  power  applied.  Some  run  parallel  with 
the  tendons,  others  cross  these  in  an  oblique  direction, 
and  still  others  at  nearly  righi  angles  from  the  first.  The 
fat  is  deposited  where  they  overlap  each  other,  filling  up 
the  interstices  and  giving  prominence  to  the  muscles  by 
pushing  the  outside  one  out.  In  a  very  fat  horse  there  is 
a  further  deposit  of  adipose  matter  between  the  skin  and 
body,  sometimes  covering  the  muscles  of  the  ribs  to  quite 
a  depth.  This  is  entirely  useless,  while  that  in  the  inter- 
stices has  a  duty  to  perform  of  great  importance,  viz.: 
lubricating  the  fibers  so  that  the  friction  at  the  points  of 
attrition  is  much  lessened.  The  muscles  become  harder 
and  more  tendonous  as  they  are  made  to  perform  active 
duty.      This  change  takes  place  as  the  result  of  exercise. 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  37 

as  does  not  the  removal  of  fat,  when  that  removal  is 
dependent  on  other  agencies  than  muscular  exertion. 
Exercise  is  the  only  means  of  effecting  this  change  of  the 
muscular  system,  and  the  amount  of  work  best  adapted 
to  effect  this  end  is  varied  in  almost  every  animal  that  has 
to  undergo  the  conditioning  process.  As  the  fat  is  wasted, 
there  ought  to  be  a  proportional  increase  of  muscle,  and 
which  will  invariably  ensue  if  the  training  has  been  prop- 
erly attended  to. 

Sweating  under  clothes  has  also  a  local  effect.  This 
is  an  advantage  which  no  other  system  of  depletion  can 
boast  of,  and  the  benefits  of  which  can  hardly  be  over 
estimated.  If  it  were  otherwise,  we  would  be  compelled 
to  bring  one  part  of  the  horse's  body  much  lower  than  we 
would  like  it  in  order  that  some  other  part  might  be  in  a 
condition  to  stand  the  requirements  of  fast  work. 

There  is  nothing  like  the  danger  of  over-sweating  the 
neck  that  there  is  in  the  chest,  which  will  bear  a  great 
deal  'of  reduction.  We  may  reduce  the  muscles  that 
cover  the  shoulder-blade  loo  much,  but  the  intercostal 
and  abdominal  muscles  will  bear  some  reduction  if  it  is 
necessary  to  get  rid  of  any  fat  in  the  immediate  vicinity. 
There  is  a  vast  difference  between  young  and  matured 
horses,  both  as  to  the  necessity  and  effects  of  sweating, 
and  the  treatment  given  some  aged  horses  would  ruin  a 
colt.  The  reason  is,  that  young  horses  are  not  so  fat  in- 
side as  older  ones,  and  reducing  them  inside  would  be 
accompanied  by  the  wasting  of  the  muscles.  Till  colts 
can  go  fast  enough  to  tire  themselves,  there  is  ordinarily 
no  necessity  for  sweating  them  under  clothes  more  than 
enough  to  cleanse  the  skin.  They  will  sweat  enough  in 
their  work  to  answer  all  purposes. 

THE  SWEAT. 

The  nighi  before  you  sweat  your  horse,  give  him  a 
bran  mash  in  lieu  of  his  regular  feed  of  grain,  and  only 
half  the  ordinary  allowance  of  water,  and  half  his  usual 
allowance  of  hay,  and  if  a  gross  feeder  muzzle  him.  In 
the  morning,  give  him  not  over  two  o^uarts  of  oats  when 


2S  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

you  feed  your  other  horses,  and  no  water,  and  as  soon  as 
he  has  eaten  the  grain  muzzle  him,  groom  him  as  usual, 
and  about  eight  o'clock  give  him  a  walk  for  half  an  hour. 
By  the  time  he  has  been  walked  the  bran  mash  will  have 
performed  its  office,  and  he  will  be  emptied  out  and 
ready  to  prepare  for  the  sweat.  Take  him  into  the  sta- 
ble, take  a  long,  soft  woolen  blanket  and  double  it  to- 
gether so  it  will  be  full  length  and  half  the  width,  throw 
it  over  his  back  and  bring  the  end  under  his  belly;  be 
careful  to  have  it  straight  and  free  from  wrinkles — it 
ought  to  lap  a  foot  or  more — fasten  it  with  safety  skew- 
ers, or,  what  is  better,  four  strings  sewed  onto  the  side  of 
the  blanket  a  little  below  where  it  crosses  the  back  bone, 
and  the  same  number  on  the  end  that  you  bring  between 
the  fore  and  hind  legs;  then  it  can  be  fastened  without 
any  danger  of  wounding  the  skin.  Take  a  little  lighter 
blanket  and  double  it  in  the  same  way,  and  fold  it  as 
many  times  around  the  neck,  enveloping  it  from  the 
shoulders  to  the  ears ;  now  take  another  blanket,  but 
smaller,  and  cover  the  horse  all  over  with  it,  tying  it 
under  the  tail  and  around  the  breast.  A  hood  large 
enough  to  cover  the  shoulders,  without  ear  pieces.  A 
Kersey  suit  over  this,  buckled  at  the  flank  ;  hood  with 
ear  pieces,  and  his  costume  is  complete.  Let  out  your 
harness  to  accommodate  the  extra  amount  of  clothing, 
and  hitch  him  into  the  sulky.  (Have  a  drink  made  for 
him  of  oat  meal  and  water,  which  make  a  little  above 
blood  heat  by  adding  hot  water.)  Walk  him  and  jog  a 
couple  of  miles,  when  the  perspiration  will  begin  to  start 
some,  and  you  can  give  him  a  drink  of  the  .varm  gruel, 
a  few  swallows  (two  or  three),  which  will  facilitate  the 
flow.  Then  give  him  a  couple  of  miles  more  jogging, 
fast  enough  to  start  the  moisture,  and  go  to  the  stable, 
unhitch  him,  but  throw  immediately  onto  him  a  couple 
of  extra  blankets  to  retain  all  the  heat.  He  will  labor  in 
breathing,  but  give  him  another  swallow  of  the  warm 
drink,  when  the  perspiration  will  begin  to  run  down  his 
legs  and  ooze  through  the  blankets.  Don't  be  alarmed 
at  the  profuse  flow  ;  you  will  see  that  he  doesn't  breathe 
as   hard   as   before,  and   the   arteries  will   become  more 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  20 

elastic  and  the  pulsations  less  rapic'.  Have  your  scrapers 
and  rubbers  ready,  unbuckle  the  hood  and  outside  blanket, 
throw  the  hood  across  his  loin  and  turn  back  the  clothes  so 
as  to  expose  his  chest,  throw  the  neck  wrapper  to  one  side 
and  scrape  him  out  carefully.  Have  help  enough  to  rub  him 
gently  around  the  head  and  ears  while  you,  after  cover- 
ing the  neck  and  chest,  scrape  his  back,  sides  and  quar- 
ters;  be  careful  not  to  irritate  him.  His  neck  will  now 
scrape  again  ;  go  all  over  him  again,  and  then  throw  off 
all  the  wet  clothes ;  rub  him  briskly,  but  gently,  all  over 
with  dry,  clean  rubbers,  and  get  some  dry,  clean  clothes 
—-blanket  and  hood — and  smooth  his  hair  down  the  right 
way,  put  on  the  blanket  and  hood  and  put  a  light  blanket 
over  this,  outside  the  tail,  and  have  him  walked  for  fif- 
teen minutes,  when  you  can  finish  doing  him  up  by  dry- 
ing him  up  slowly,  occasionally  removing  the  clothes  and 
substituting  lighter  ones  all  the  time.  Wash  his  feet  and 
get  the  tubs  and  put  his  feet  into  them,  and  wash  his  legs 
Irom  the  knees  and  hocks  down  with  warm  water.  When 
this  is  done,  dip  the  bandages  in  hot  water  and  do  up  his 
legs  from  the  knee  and  hock  to  the  coronet.  Fix  up  his 
bedding,  give  him  two  quarts  of  drink  previously  prepared 
by  putting  a  tablespoonful  of  pure  cream  tartar  into  ten 
quarts  of  water,  which  is  all  he  ought  to  have  until  the 
next  morning.  Pour  out  about  two  quarts  of  the  asced- 
ulated  drink  at  a  time,  so  not  to  tantalize  him  by  showing 
him  more  water  than  you  want  him  to  drink  at  one  time. 
Give  him  two  quarts  of  oats  and  three  or  four  pounds  of 
hay,  and  when  he  has  eaten  it,  muzzle  him,  and  leave 
him  undisturbed  till  the  next  feed.  The  object  of  re- 
stricting him  in  the  amount  of  water,  is  that  the  absorb- 
ents will  take  hold  of  the  fat,  which  they  would  not  do  if 
you  give  him  an  unlimited  supply  of  fluids.  A  good 
clear  warm  day  should  always  be  taken  advantage  of  to 
give  a  horse  a  sweat,  and  you  should  be  careful  not  to 
get  into  a  draft  of  air  in  the  cooling  out  process.  His 
next  feed  will  be  his  regular  evening  meal  of  oats  and 
hay,  which  ought  to  be  curtailed  about  one-third  in 
amount,  but  the  morning  following  feed  him  as  usual, 
and  give  water  likewise.

CHAPTER  VIII. 

TREATMENT   AFTER   THE  SWEAT. 

Hitch  up  your  horse  the  morning  after  his  sweat  and 
jog  him  three  or  four  miles  slowly,  but  don't  give  him 
any  fast  work  until  the  day  after.  If  you  have  not  over- 
done the  sweating,  your  horse  will  act  and  step  out  as 
light  as  a  feather,  and  his  eye  will  be  clear  and  bright. 
You  can't  fail  to  see  if  your  horse  ^on^  feel  as  well  as 
common.  You  will,  the  second  day  after  the  sweat,  give 
him  some  fast  work,  but  not  up  to  his  limit  of  speed,  as 
this  should  never  be  done  except  in  a  trial,  and  I  don't 
think  half  mile  trials  amount  to  much,  only  to  teach 
the  horse  to  quit  after  he  has  gone  to  the  half  mile  pole. 
In  the  early  part  of  the  horse's  preparation  a  half  mile 
heat  is  well  enough  to  gauge  the  speed  he  has,  but  I 
would  not  persist  in  half  mile  trials.  I  will  say  a  little 
more  about  walking.  In  the  early  part  of  the  horse's 
training,  walking  exercise  in  the  morning  should  be  given 
when  the  dew  is  on  the  grass,  and  walk  him  so  he  can 
have  the  benefit  of  it  on  his  legs  and  feet.  A  walk  to- 
wards evening  of  an  hour,  with  the  privilege  of  picking 
grass,  will  be  enjoyed  by  the  animal  and  his  appetite  and 
constitution  benefited.  In  training  horses  a  man  must 
get  up  in  the  morning,  A  horse  in  training  ought  to  be 
fed  at  five  o'clock  in  the  morning,  after  having  a  few  swal- 
lows of  water,  two  quarts  of  oats,  his  bed  shaken  up  and 
stall  cleaned  of  manure  and  wet  straw.  After  you  have 
had  your  breakfast,  clean  his  coat  and  feet  and  give  him 
a  little  walk  in  the  dew,  hitch  him  into  the  sulky  and 
give  him  his  work,  after  which  he  can  be  fed  two  quarts 
more  oats  and  some  hay,  and  watered.  Now  fix  up  his 
bed  and  leave  him  to  himself  till  three  o'clock  in  the  af- 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  31 

ternoon,  when  you  can  feed  him  two  quarts  more  oats, 
and  when  they  are  eaten  give  him  some  more  water,  after 
which  you  can  give  him  his  afternoon  or  evening  walk, 
when  is  your  opportunity  to  let  him  eat  some  grass,  and 
after  he  has  been  returned  to  the  stable,  hand  rub  his 
legs  a  little,  see  if  he  has  cuffed  himself  anywhere,  pick 
and  wash  out  his  feet,  have  his  bed  fixed  up  a  little  and 
return  him  to  his  stall  till  seven  o'clock,  when  you  can 
give  him  his  feed  of  four  quarts  of  oats  and  his  full  al- 
lowance of  water,  and  what  hay  he  needs.  Some  horses 
need  a  little  corn  to  keep  up  their  flesh  and  stamina,  and 
some  very  ravenous  feeders,  by  mixing  a  little  shelled 
corn  in  the  oats,  will  be  compelled  to  eat  slower  and  mas- 
ticate the  grain  properly.  You  ought  always  to  have  on 
hand,  ears  of  corn,  good,  sound  oats  and  wheat  bran,  the 
coarser  and  lighter  in  weight  to  the  bushel  the  better,  to 
be  used  for  bran  mashes.     You  want  salt  handy,  also..

CHAPTER  IX. 

WATCHFULNESS  NOW  THE  ORDER  OF  THE  DAY. 

Your  trotter  now  being  on  the  high  road  to  the  object 
of  your  ambition,  viz,  to  beat  2:30,  you  want  to  see  that 
he  gains  in  speed  and  style  of  going,  and  if  you  are  train- 
ing in  the  vicinity  of  a  track  you  will  have  opportunities 
to  see  how  he  likes  company,  and  you  should  try  and 
get  him  used  to  it.  You  want  to  take  care  he  doesn't  take 
on  too  much  flesh,  if  he  is  a  hardy  horse,  and  also  you 
don't  want  to  over-work  him.  By  reference  to  the  article 
on  sweating,  you  will  learn  by  noticing  the  inspirations 
and  expirations  of  air  to  and  from  his  lungs  when  pulled 
up  after  fast  work,  and  how  he  does  it;  how  he  is  pro- 
gressing in  his  training  in  respect  to  his  internal  organs. 
If  he  ^" blows  out"  forcibly  after  fast  work  and  fatiguing 
exercise,  and  recovers  rapidly,  it  is  fair  to  assume  that  he 
is  doing  well.  As  a  horse  approaches  racing  condition, 
the  quicker  and  more  completely  does  he  recover  from 
exhaustion  in  a  short  space  of  time.  Your  judgment 
must  continually  guide  you  now ;  once  a  week  is  often 
enough,  ordinarily,  tor  a  horse  to  have  fast  work.  You 
had  better  save  him  some  and  let  him  trot  himself  into 
condition  than  to  have  him  right  on  edge  the  first  race 
you  start  in. 

If  you  contemplate  giving  your  horse  only  one  race 
and  then  laying  him  out  of  work,  that  is  a  different  affair 
from  trotting  through  half  a  dozen  meetiuLS.  and  in 
that  case  should  be  on  edge  if  you  expect  him  to  distin- 
guish^imself,  for  it  is  exceedingly  rare  for  a  green  horse 
and  a  green  driver  to  win  their  first  race,  unless  they  lay 
over  the  rest  of  the  entries  in  speed  by  several  seconds, 
and  then,  if  you  have  the  most  speed,  some  man  may  out 
drive  you. 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  IIOESES.  33 

But  your  horse  should  have  five  repeats  before  you 
start  him  to  win  a  race,  and  one  of  them  should  be  of 
three  heats;  the  others  just  mile  and  repeat.  But  never 
give  your  horse  a  repeat  within  five  days  of  a  race,  or 
after  you  start  into  a  campaign.  If  he  trots  one  race 
each  week,  he  will  not  need  any  repeating,  and,  while  I 
think  of  it,  I  wish  to  state  that  there  is  not  a  liorse  that 
ever  marked  the  earth  that  can  not  be  made  to  giiit^  by 
overwork.  And  here  is  where  many  horses  n-ot  possess- 
ing the  the  stamina  afforded  by  thoroughbred  crosses 
have  gone  wrong,  the  trainer  not  having  the  judgment  to 
tell  him  w^hen  to  let  up  in  the  work.  Always  work  vour 
horse  in  the  forenoon,  when  he  can  ge^  the  beriefit  of  the 
sun.  A  horse  worked  only  in  the  cool  of  the  day  will 
wilt  like  a  mushroom  when  started  in  a  race  in  the  heat 
of  the  afternoon.

CHAPTER  X. 

FINANCIAL  MATTERS  DISCUSSED   A   LITTLE. 

It  takes  a  smarter  man  to  campaign  a  trotter  or  string 
of  them  and  come  out  in  the  Fall  with  enough  morvev  to 
pay  him  for  his  time,  risk  and  amount  of  capital  invested, 
even  if  he  has  a  winner  to  handle,  than  it  does  to  do  any- 
other  kind  of  business.  You  may  inquire,  how  can  this 
be;  that  a  man  controlling  a  winner,  viz.,  one  that  is  an 
average  horse  in  his  class,  and  not  make  anything  out  of  it? 
It  is  this  way  :  these  men  ordinarily  beat  themselves. 
They  get  into  some  job  to  work  the  pool  box,  and  the 
first  they  know  they  are  left.  Jam.es  Wade,  formerly 
owner  of  Red  Cloud  (now  dead),  can  tell  you  how  it 
works.  He  entertained  the  writer  I-ist  summer  one  after- 
noon with  his  experience  with  a  trotter  who,  by  the  way, 
wars  a  winfier.  The  business  left  a  lasting  impression 
upon  Mr.  Wade's  mind.  He  went  into  the  campaign  in- 
experienced, but  he  knows  all  about  the  business  now — 
no  little  job  to  let  somebody  else  win  will  ever  capture 
him  now  —  not  if  he  can  win.  If  you  are  going  to 
handle  one  horse  to  develop  him,  you  might  as  well  have 
two  or  three.  It  would  use  up  more  of  the  time  and 
not  be  so  monotonous.  You  could  help  pay  the  ex- 
penses by  handling  a  couple  of  others  besides  your  own 
horse,  and  afford  to  hire  a  good  man  to  rub  and  take 
care.  When  you  hire  a  rubber  you  had  better  give  him 
double  pay  and  get  a  good  man  than  to  have  a  bummer 
do  your  work  for  nothing.  Good  horses  cost  money  and 
are  worth  money,  and  no  class  of  property  requires  as 
faithful,  sober  men  to  take  care  of  it  as  property  invested 
in  race  horses.  Still,  fifty  per  cent,  of  the  rubbers  in 
charge   of  good   horses   representing   a  large   outlay    of 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  35 

capital  jw/  would  not  trust  to  watch  a  lumber  pile.  But 
owners  are  requiring  better  men  than  formerly,  to  do 
work  around  trotters  and  pacers,  and  will  not  have  men 
addicted  to  drunkenness  and  dissipation,  and  it  is  right.- 
You  want  a  man  whom  you  can  trust  to  sleep  in  the  barn, 
and  take  care  of  the  horses  and  premises,  and  back  bone 
enough  to  clean  out  all  bummers  and  tramps  who  or- 
dinarily intest  training  grounds  and  not  have  them  sleep- 
ing and  loafing  around  the  premises  at  night. 

If  it  is  your  first  experience  try  and  manage  it  so  you 
can  relate  during  the  hours  spent  around  the  stove  in  the 
winter  coming,  some  of  your  experience  in  the  charmed 
circle,  with  that  feeling  of  satisfaction  which  is  afforded 
by  the  fact  that  you  got  there.

CHAPTER  XI. 

A    FAST    TROTTER  OR  PACER    13    ONE  THING,  BUT  A    RACE- 
HORSE IS  another:  and  nothing  makes  race-horses 

BUT    races.  NECESSITY    OF    RACES    TO    THOROUGHLY 

DEVELOP    A    HORSE    AND    FIND    OUT    WHAT    THERE  IS  IN 
HIM. 

You  will  never  be  satisfied  as  to  the  capacity  of  your 
horse  until  you  have  had  him  in  a  race.  So  you  will 
naturally  look  around  and  see  where  you  had  better  enter 
him.  You  will  probably  select  the  three  minute  and  two 
forty  classes  as  the  proper  place  to  give  him  a  chance  to 
distinguish  himself,  although  there  is  more  danger  at  the 
present  time  of  getting  a  record  for  your  horse,  that  you 
would  rather  not  have  in  the  three  minute,  than  in  the 
*'  two  forty  class,  "  as  nearly  all  the  fliers  make  their 
debut  in  the  slower  classes.  But  make  your  entries 
where  you  think  you  will  have  a  fair  chance  given  you  to 
win,  if  you  can,  and  I  would  select  a  meeting  where  the 
track  belonged  to  the  National  Association,  for  such  or- 
ganizations are  responsible,  and  in  case  you  are  not  satis- 
fied with  the  treatment  you  get,  you  stand  a  chance  to  get 
some  satisfaction  if  you  are  really  in  the  right,  by  an  ap- 
peal. Make  your  entry  according  to  the  conditions 
published  and  send  the  money  to  pay  the  entrance  fee. 
you  will  have  to  pay  it  any  way,  and  you  might  as  well 
do  it  first  as  last. 

If  possible  get  to  the  track  in  time  to  secure  good 
stabling  for  your  horses,  and  get  an  extra  stall  for  a  feed 
room,  to  put  your  hay  and  feed  in,  as  well  as  the  rest  of 
your  traps.  You  want  above  all  things  a  good  sulky, 
made  by  one  of  the  reliable  makers,  of  which  there  are  a 
number,    which  vary   in   price   from  one    hundred   to  a 


DEVELOP  BPEEI.)  IN  HORSES.  37 

hundred  and  fifty  dollars.     A  well  built  fifty  or  fifty-five 

pouna  sulky,  will  carry  you  around  any  turn  at  any  rate 

of  speed  if  you  know  how  to  sit  in  it,  with  perfect  safety, 

and  will  tear  down  any  ordinary  buggy  if  you  shuld  run 

into  it.     These  well   built    sulkies   may   bend,  but  very 

larely  break,  so  patronize  a  builder  of  known  reputation. 

You    want    plenty    of  sheets,   woolen  and  linen.     Your 

woolen  blankets  which  are  not  in  use  will  come  in  play 

to  hang  on  lines  around  the  stalls  to  keep  the  air  from 

blowing    through  the  cracks  in    the  stable,  as    at    some 

places  you   can  throw  a  cat  through  the  cracks.     Take 

plenty    of  rubbers,  a   couple  of  lanterns,    curry  combs, 

brushes,    sponges,    pails,    foot    tub,    foot    picks,    boots, 

bandages,  and  hooks  with  screw  eye  and   screw  staples, 

are  very  handy  to  put  on  doors  while  you  stay,  and  when 

you  pack  up  take  them  away  again.     You  want  an  oat 

seive  and  a  two  quart  measure,  a  Marine  clock  with  an 

alarm,  a  half   gallon  of   leg  wash  of  some  kind,   Castile 

soap,  hammer  or  hatchet,  foot  rasp,  a  pair  of  pinchers  and 

small    saw.     You  can  have  a  chest  or  large  trunk  that 

you  can  pack  all  these  things  into  except  the  foot  tub. 

You  will  need   all   the  articles  I   have  enumerated  and 

many  more,  and  it  is  not  a  convenient  place  to  borrow 

things  at  a  race  track.     A  couple  of  camp  stools  and  a 

hammock  are  articles  of  convenience  and  don't  take  up 

much    room.      But    the    most   important    thing    I    have 

omitted,  and  that  is  money  enough  to  carry  you  as  far  as 

you  want  to  go,  if  you  don't  win  a  cent.      It  contributes 

so  largely  to  a  man's  peace  of  mind,  and  is,  I  believe,  a 

powerful  nervine,  and  will  assist  you  immensely  by  its 

influence  when  you  get  up  to  drive  the  race.     You  will 

meet  the  gang  when  you  get  there,  probably,  or  some  of 

them  ;  they  will  size  you  up  right  away  as  a  "tender  foot," 

let  them  enjoy  their  convictions,  and  talk  about  anything 

but  your  horses  and  what  you  know  about  the  business, 

they  will  find  out  all  you  want  them  to  know,  without 

you  informing  them.     After  getting  located  to  suit  you, 

get  plenty  of  straw,  and  if  your  stall  has  no  board  or  plank 

floor  get  some  boards  and  put  down  before  you  make  up 


33  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

the  beds,  if  you  have  to  buy  the  lumber;  then  fix  up  the 
things  you  have  brought  in  their  respective  places;  you 
want  a  clothesline  to  go  around  the  stalls  to  hang  the 
blankets  on.  You  will  have  no  trouble  about  buying 
what  feed  you  want,  nearly  all  the  tracks  now  furnish 
nay  and  straw  free.  If  you  have  shipped  by  rail  (which 
is  always  the  way  to  move,  if  you  don't  go  more  than 
twenty-five  miles,  unless  you  go  with  the  horse  yourself), 
don't  hook  up  your  horse  until  the  next  morning;  you 
may  give  him  his  regular  evening  walk  and  let  him  get 
all  the  rest  he  can.  Do  not  change  the  feeding  time  or 
manner  of  feeding  or  kind  of  feed  from  what  you  have 
been  using  all  the  time,  and  observe  what  the  character 
of  the  water  is  and  how  it  varies  from  the  water  at  home, 
and  govern  your  actions  accordingly.  Get  a  place  to 
board  as  near  as  possible  to  your  horses,  so  that  you  can 
go  to  your  meals  and  leave  your  man  or  men  in  charge 
of  the  stable  till  you  gel  back  ;  never  leave  your  horses 
alone,  even  if  you  lock  the  stalls;  there  is  no  necessity 
for  doing  it  if  you  have  men  you  cm  rely  upon,  and  if 
you  have  not,  get  different  ones.  You  are  out  to  make 
a  dollar  if  you  can  with  your  horses  and  you  will  need  to 
attend  strictly  to  business.  Don't  try  to  drink  up  all  the 
".Conversation  Water"  that  comes  in  your  way;  that  has 
been  tried  by  some  very  hardy  individuals  of  my  ac- 
quaintance, and  no  man  ever  lived  to  accomplish  it.  In 
short,  conduct  yourself  just  as  well  as  though  you  had 
your  wife  along  with  you,  and  set  a  good  example  for 
your  men,  it  will  have  its  effect  and  accrue  to  your  bene- 
fit invariably.

CHAPTER  XII. 

G-ENERAL    VIEWS    ABOUT    WINNING    IF    YOU     CAN. 

Some  men  are  continually  contriving  to  save  a  record. 
I  never  saw  one  of  thes-e  men  have  a  horse  that  could  get 
a  record  that  would  be  fast  enough  to  hurt  him.  You 
never  can  win  either,  by  staying  behind,  you  have  got  to 
get  up  in  front  to  win.  It  is  a  very  rare  thing  for  any 
horse  to  be  fast  longer  than  two  seasons  in  succession, 
There  are  some  exceptions  to  this  rule,  however,  as  in- 
stanced in  the  case  of  Goldsmith  Maid,  Dexter,  Rarus, 
and  Driver,  and  that  is  about  all  I  think  of  now.  -■  So  if 
you  have  got  the  speed  and  staying  qualities,  you  had 
better  make  use  of  them  ;  you  can  not  tell  how  long  you 
will  have  either.  Horse  flesh  is  a  very_uncertain_com- 
modity. 

A  man  having  a  horse  in  a  race  and  driving  him  him- 
self, has  a  great  percentage  in  his  favor  over  any  outside 
bettor.  He  can  not  help  but  know  whether  he  can  win 
or  not,  and  he  will  know  if  there  is  any  ."  fixing  "  going 
on.  Where  a  strange  field  of  horses  come  together, 
every  body  is  at  sea  when  contemplating  the  relative 
chances  of  the  starters.  Occasionally  there  is  a  horse 
that  cannot  win  a  race,  but  can  brush  and  speed  so  fast 
that  if  the  driver  is  as  astute  as  a  number  of  men  I  could 
mention,  he  will  be  approached  by  some  backer  of  a 
horse  who  desires  to  win  the  race,  and  an  offer  of  a  divide 
will  be  made  in  advance  of  the  start,  which  arrangement 
is  ordinarily  effected.  It  is  very  amusing  to  observe  the 
tangle  these  fixers  sometimes  get  themselves  into,  by 
leaving  out  of  the  arrangement  the  itn-ong  horse,  or  the 
one  that  proves  to  be  able  to  win  the  race  in  spite  of  all 
the  ingenuity  of  the  opposition.      The    pacing   race    at 


40  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

Chicago,  in  1883,  where  the  Missouri  pacer,  Richball, 
downed  them  all,  when  he  had  been  bringing  but  ten 
dollars  in  a  hundred  and  twenty  in  the  pools,  is  an 
instance  where  the  discovery  was  made  too  late,  and  the 
*'  posted  division  "  met  their  "  Waterloo." 

No  business  sharpens  a  man's  perceptive  faculties  like 
managing  race  horses,  or  awakens  him  to  the  fact  that  he 
may  be  operatmg  out  of  his  proper  sphere.  I  never 
could  see  the  odds  that  we  often  see  one  horse  bring 
over  the  "Jfield,"  when  there  is  a  large  field  of  good 
horses  to  start,  and  all  of  them  good  ones  and  known  to 
be  by  previous  performances  nearly  matched  in  point  of 
speed  and  staying  qualities.  In  a  race  wheie  such  a  field 
of  starters  show  up,  I  want  the  short  end  to  begin  with, 
for  it  verv  frequently  occurs  that  before  the  race  is  won, 
the  /w/  favorite  is  selling  in  the  field,  and  you  can  get 
both  ends  of  the  race  and  go  out  and  set  down  and  see 
them  fight  it  out,  as  you  will  be  ahead  whoever  v/ins.  A 
man  under  these  circumstances  can  view  the  race  with  a 
calmness  that  is  truly  blissful.

CHAPTER  Xm 

TOE    WEIGHTS    CHANGING     THE     WAY    OF    GOING. 

Toe  weights  have  played  an  important  part  in  devel- 
oping the  speed  and  steadiness  in  way  of  going  in  trot- 
ters, and  are  of  recent  discovery,  comparatively.  As 
near  as  I  can  ascertain,  they  were  first  used  by  James. 
Wilson,  of  Rushville,  Ind.,  who  was  the  owner  of  that 
phenominal  sire  of  trotters,  Old  Blue  Bull,  and  who  now 
leads  all  others  in  the  number  of  his  get  that  have  ob- 
tained records  of  2-30  and  better  in  many  a  hotly  con- 
tested race.  Many  of  Blue  Bull's  get  were  either  pacing 
or  mixed  gaited  horses,  and  by  the  judicious  use  of  toe 
weights,  they  were  easily  converted  to  the  trotting  gait  of 
the  purest  character,  and  nearly  every  converted  pace^,. 
that  possessed  a  sufficient  amount  of  "  hard  bottom  '* 
blood,  have  proved  themselves  horses  of  no  ordinary 
capacity  in  their  day  and  time.  But  I  think  many  good 
horses  have  been  injured  by  wearing  more  weight  than 
was  absolutely  necessary,  which  has  had  the  effect  of 
straining  the  muscles  and  tendons,  and  by  injuring  the 
feet,  by  bringing  them  in  contact  with  the  ground  with 
greater  force  than  the  feet  were  calculated  to  stand  with- 
out serious  results.  After  a  horse  has  been  converted,  I 
think  the  weights  should  be  decreased  in  ounces  gradu- 
ally,  to  the  lowest  point  possible,  and  more  reliance  be 
placed  upon  skillful  driving,  to  keep  the  horse  level  in 
his  gait.  Many  horses  that  are  pure  gaited  trotters  can 
trot  faster,  and  without  detriment  to  themselves,  by  wear- 
ing a  reasonable  amount  oi  weight  on  each  fore  foot, 
as  the  weight  at  the  apex  of  the  toe  has  the  effect 
to  straigthen  out  the  fore  leg  when  extended,  and 
thus   gain    in  length    of   stride,    whereby    they   can   trot 


42  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

the  mile  out  from  2  to  5  seconds  faster  than  they 
could  without  them.  There  are  a  dozen  different  styles 
of  toe  weights  that  have,  as  claimed  by  their  respective 
inventors,  their  advantages,  and  of  their  usefulness  in 
many  cases  there  is  no  question,  and  I  might  add  that 
they  are  indispensable  as  part  of  your  outfit  as  a  trotting 
horse  trainer.  In  the  development  of  speed  in  horses 
that  are  mixed  gaited,  by  this  I  mean  horses  that  cannot 
either  pace  or  trot  squarely,  weights  will  always  have  to 
be  resorted  to,  if  you  desire  to  square  them  and  save  time 
in  doing  so.  The  application  of  a  4  or  6  ounce  weight  to 
each  hind  foot,  on  the  outside,  has  the  effect  of  opening 
their  gait  behind  and  thereby  improving  the  way  of  go- 
ing. 

A  trotter  that  puts  one  hind  foot  past  his  front  foot  on 
the  outside,  but  carries  the  other  hind  foot  in  line  with  the 
front  one  on  the  same  side  is  something  very  annoying  to  a 
trainer.  The  foot  that  does  not  go  out  where  it  ought  to 
is  ordinarily  shod  v/ith  a  shoe  twice  as  heavy  on  the  out- 
side as  on  the  inside,  and  sometimes  a  side  weight  is 
used,  and  there  are  cases  where  the  reverse  has  been  re- 
sorted to  with  success  This  is  accounted  for  by  some 
men  as  sympathetic.  The  mare  Adelaide  by  Phil  Sheri- 
dan, placed  one  hind  foot  between  her  front  ones  inst'^ad 
of  going  outside  with  l^of/i  hind  feet.  She  could  go  very 
fast  and  got  a  record  of  2-19^  this  way  of  going,  but 
these  examples  are  rare.  r.Iany  experiments  will  have  to 
be  resorted  to  in  order  to  gait  some  horses  properly,  while 
others  are  the  poetry  or  motion.  If  you  have  a  horse 
that  uses  one  hind  leg  properly  and  swings  the  other  in 
line  with  his  front  foot,  if  a  side  weight  or  a  shoe  with 
the  weight  in  the  outside  half  doesn't  have  the  desired 
effect,  reverse  the  matter  and  shoe  that  foot  light,  with  an 
ordinary  shoe,  and  shoe  the  foot  that  is  carried  properly, 
same  as  you  have  previously  shod  the  other,  and  use  a 
side  weight  also.  This  has  had  the  effect  in  some  cases, 
of  inducing  the  horse  to  carry  both  legs  properly.  Many 
experiments  have  to  be  resorted  to,  in  order  to  get  some 
horses  to  go  square.

CHAPTER    XIV. 

MANAGTiMENT    BEFORE    AND    IN    THE    RACE. 

We  will  assume  now  that  your  horse  is  good  enough 
to  keep  the  starters  company  in  the  race,  as  far  as  speed 
is  concerned,  but  never  having  been  in  a  race,  you  can 
not  tell  how  he  will  act  in  scoring  among  a  half  dozen 
starters,  some  up  in  the  air,  and  some  in  fron»,  sone  be- 
hind, the  crowd  in  the  ampitheatre  and  along  the  inside 
railing  to  the  track  all  excited  and  more  or  less  noise,  is 
all  calculated  to  somewhat  excite  a  green  trott'er,  and  a 
green  driver  as  well.  If  you  are  going  to  start  your 
horse  in  a  race  to-morrow,  you  should  observe  some  of 
the  hints  before  spoken  of,  as  to  the  curtailment  of  hay 
and  water,  to-night.  In  the  morning  give  the  horse  his 
regular  feed  of  oats  at  the  regular  time,  and  a  little  hay, 
and  probably  w^alking  exercise  will  be  all  he  will  require ; 
and  at  ten  o'clock  give  him  two  more  quarts  of  oats  and 
a  few  swallows  ot  water.  He  will  not  want  any  thing 
more  until  an  hour  before  you  start,  you  can  give  him  a 
pint  of  oats;  it  doesn't  amount  to  much  but  satisfies  the 
animal,  and  he  will  not  miss  his  afternoon  feed  so  much 
it  the  race  should  be  prolonged  by  broken  heats.  Get 
everything  ready  and  have  boots,  if  you  wear  boots  on 
the  horse,  that  will  protect  him  ;  they  should  be  made  to 
fit.  You  Avill  need  quarter  boots  any  way,  and  probably 
knee  boots,  and  hind  leg,  shin  and  pass  boots;  at  all 
events  give  him  what  protection  he  needs,  and  own  them 
yourself;  don't  borrow  or  depend  on  borrowing;  have 
bandages,  sponges,  pail  of  water,  etc.,  handy.  If  you  go 
to  the  stable  to  rub  out  you  will  only  have  to  take  a  pail 
of  water  and  sponges  to  the  quarter  stretch  to  sponge 
out  with.  If  you  do  not  weigh  150  pounds  have  your 
extra  weight  to  mjake  that  in  the  cushion  to  your  sulky. 
Hitch  up  about  fifteen  minutes  before  you  will  be  called, 
and  proceed  to  warm  up  for  the  heat,  and  accustom  the 
horse  to  the  crowd  and  the  music  (if  there  is  any),  and  the 


44  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

general  surroundings,  but  don't  unnecessarily  excite  him. 
When  the  judges  have  drawn  the  position  for  each 
horse  the  bell  will  call  you  all  up,  and  you  will  proceed 
to  weigh,  get  your  colors  and  position.  When  you  are 
all  ready  to  score  for  a  start,  you  will  go  to  the  distance 
stand,  or  where  you  think  best,  watching  the  rest  closely, 
and  turn  as  soon  as  any  of  them  and  come  down  to  the  wire 
in  the  position  assigned  to  you.  You  will  never  get  the 
word  the  first  attempt,  but  if  it  is  not  a  "go"  you  will  be 
signaled  by  the  bell  to  come  back,  where  as  if  it  is  a 
''go  "  the  judges  will  say  "go,"  in  which  case  go  on.  If 
you  have  the  pole  and  can  keep  it,  do  so,  and  don't 
''shrink"  or  "cringe"  if  some  chap  comes  close  to  you. 
Never  let  anybody  drive  you  into  the  fence  nor  carry 
you  out  on  the  turns;  stay  where  you  are  and  keep  your 
horse  level.  If  any  of  them  can  out  trot  you  they  will  be 
entitled  to  the  pole,  but  never  have  any  fear  at  this 
point;  remember  if  they  run  into  you,  you  can  hurt  them 
as  much  as  they  do  you,  and  if  you  don't  flinch  they  will 
not  try  it  again.  Drivers  do  not  ordinarily  drive  into  a 
man  known  to  be  resolute  and  game  ;  when  they  do  it  is 
owing  to  being  mistaken  in  the  man.  If  your  horse  hap- 
pens to  leave  his  feet  don't  snatch  him,  but  let  him  take 
one,  two  or  three  jumps,  steady  him,  and  by  a  little  skill- 
ful management  you  will  be  able  to  land  him  on  his  feet 
without  slacking  his  pace,  as  a  steady  pull  to  land  him 
in  a  trot  is  the  proper  thing.  It  is  all  wrong  to  teach  a 
trotter  when  he  leaves  his  feet  to  come  almost  to  a  stand- 
still before  you  catch  him,  as  you  will  lose  so  much 
ground  you  will  not  be  able  to  regain  it  and  thereby 
lose  the  heat.  If  it  is  evident  that  you  can  win  the  heat 
and  you  want  to  do  so,  go  on ;  but  there  is  no  use  in 
winning  with  a  dozen  lengths  to  spare.  You  will  save 
getting  a  lower  mark  for  your  horse  by  winning  by  a 
length,  and  it  will  answer  all  purposes.  After  you  have 
won  the  heat,  or  finished  it,  slacken  the  gait  and  jog  back 
to  the  stand,  where  your  rubber  should  be  to  take  the 
horse,  while  you  dismount,  by  permission  of  the  judges, 
and  weigh,  which  by  consulting  the  rules  of  the  National 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  4o 

Trotting  Association,  you  will  find  is  one  of  the  require- 
ments. You  will  now  attend  to  the  wants  of  your  horse. 
Slip  him  out  of  the  sulky,  slip  off  the  harness,  and  cover 
him  up  so  as  to  insure  a  scrape;  pull  off  the  boots  and 
have  a  set  of  wet  bandages  (not  cold)  and  do  up  his  legs 
immediately.  Shower  some  water,  with  a  sponge,  on  his 
poll  and  forehead,  sponge  out  his  mouth  and  move  him 
until  you  get  a  scrape,  when  you  can  proceed  to  dry  him 
out  some  with  the  rubbers.  You  will  have  ample  time 
without  any  need  of  hurry  or  confusion,  to  get  your  horse 
ready  for  the  next  heat,  as  you  will  have  twenty  minutes 
any  way,  and  if  two  races  are  sandwiched,  you  will  have 
half  an  hour.  A  few  sweet  apples  are  the  finest  thing 
you  can  have  to  give  him  while  he  is  walking  —  two  or 
three  between  the  heats — and  a  little  wisp  of  hay.  You 
can  give  him  a  couple  of  swallows  of  water  and  sponge 
out  his  mouth  the  last  thing  after  having  hitched  up  for 
the  next  heat. 

You  must  pay  attention  to  his  legs  and  see  that  the 
boots  have  not  chafed  him.  The  wash  you  have  must  be 
used  on  his  legs,  and  can  be  used  over  his  shoulders  and 
loins  when  you  strip  those  parts  to  scrape  him.  You 
will  cool  out  in  the  open  air,  and  in  the  warm  season  of 
the  year  there  is  very  little  danger  of  his  getting  chilly; 
the  sun  will  not  hurt  him  unless  he  is  very  much  fatigued, 
in  which  case  you  may  walk  in  the  shade. 

This  is  the  general  way  of  conducting  a  race,  and  you 
will  by  this  time  have  accumulated  considerable  experi- 
ence of  your  own.  If  your  horse  is  strong  in  his  legs 
and  not  very  much  fatigued  by  the  heat  he  has  trotted, 
there  may  be  no  real  necessity  for  bandages,  but  they 
will  do  no  harm,  are  put  on  in  a  moment,  and  may  be  of 
service  ;  and  if  weak  in  any  of  his  legs  they  are  positively 
necessary.  Before  you  put  the  boots  back  onto  him 
brush  all  the  sand  out  of  them  and  scrape  off  with  a  knife 
any  accumulation  of  sweat  that  will  come  in  contact 
with  the  skin.  A  boot  that  chafes  a  horse  may  make 
him  unsteady  and  flighty,  and  practically  defeat  every 
other  effort  you  have  made  to  win  the  race.

CHAPTER   XV. 

VALUE     OF     TROTTERS     AS      COMPARED      WITH      THAT      OF 
PACERS. 

Individual  trotters  of  the  first-class  have  as  yet  sold  for 
more  money  than  any  pacer.  But  allow  me  to  predict, 
(and  I  am  not  interested  in  any  pacer  or  sire  of  pacers), 
that  the  time  will  come  when  a  first-class  pacer  will  bring 
as  much  as  a  trotter  of  the  same  degree  of  merit.  There 
is  a  reason  at  present  existing  that  is  manifest,  why  a 
pacer  is  not  as  valuable  in  dollars  for  racing  purposes,  as 
a  trotter.  This  is  it :  There  are  a  thousand  fast  trotters 
where  there  are  ten  pacers,  and  consequently,  trotting 
associations  that  are  composed  of  men  largely  interested 
in  breeding  trotters,  and  as  trotters  predominate  in  such 
a  degree,  more  money  by  far  is  offered  by  such  associa- 
tions to  be  competed  for  by  trotters  ;  and  until  within 
two  years,  there  was  no  show  anywhere  for  a  pacer  if  he 
was  not  a  "Whirlwind"  in  point  of  iipeed,  and  for  this 
reason,  men  who  wanted  to  invest  money  in  racing  stock 
bought  trotters  because  there  was  a  greater  number  of 
chances  to  win  out  their  investment  in  races.  But  the 
pacer  can  no  longer  be  ignored,  he  is  bound  to  come  to 
the  front,  the  public  demand  it.  You  over-hear  men 
talking  now  a  days  about  attending  a  meeting,  many  of 
whom  cannot  leave  their  business  more  than  one  day 
perhaps,  and  nine  out  of  ten  of  this  class,  will  ask  what  day 
do  the  pacers  go?  "I  want  to  see  the  "  Sidewheelers." 
Any  day  at  a  race  meeting  where  a  large  field  of  pacers 
are  advertised  to  start,  there  will  be  a  good  attendance; 
it  is  the  attraction  of  the  day  and  meeting,  as  a  race  among 
a  fair  field  of  pacers  of  any  class,  has  been  invariably  worth 
seeing,  they  have  in  the  past  invariably  "gone  for  blood," 


DEVELOP  SPEED  LY  HORSES.  47 

and  the  receipts  at  the  gate  and  pool-box,  have  been 
very  satisfactory.  There  have  been  more  genuine  sur 
prises  in  the  pacing  races  of  the  last  two  years,  than  in 
any  other,  and  that  element  of  uncertainty  which  lends  its 
charm  to  racing  of  any  kind,  is  intensified.  The  general 
verdict  is  "no  man  can  pick  a  winner  in  the  pacing 
race,"  and  in  conclusion  I  will  sav,  I  had  rather  own  a 
fast  pacer  than  l)e  President  of  the  !■  nited  States,  in  so 
far  as  fun  and  money  areconcernedc  Jt  is  gratifying  and 
mteresting  to  contemplate  the  fact  that  che  American 
people  can  produce  almost  anything  there  is  a  demand 
for,  in  an  incredible  short  space  of  time,  and  the  pacer  is 
a  case  in  point,  in  proof  of  this  assertion,  as  until  quite 
recently,  fast  pacers  were  very  scarce,  now  I  can  name  a 
number  who  can  almost  break  a  watch  with  their  speed, 
and  a  number  yet  to  hear  from  not  yet  distinguished. 
Any  gentleman  desiring  information  concerning  pacers, 
their  pedigrees,  location  of  birth,  and  general  history, 
should  correspond  with  Mr.  N.  A.  Randall,  of  Indianap- 
olis, proprietor  of  the  Western  Sportsman,  who  knows 
more  about  the  pacing  element  in  Indiana,  Kentucky, 
and  Illinois,  thaa  any  laau  I  have  met.

^VINTERIN^T    A    TROTTER    OR    PACER    WITH     THE    VIEW    OF 
CAMPAIGNING    HIM    THE    FOLLOWING    SEASON. 

Unless  a  horse  has  some  infirmity  at  the  close  of  the 
season  when  it  is  intended  to  devote  his  powers  to  racing 
the  following  season,  there  is  no  good  reason  as  I  can  see, 
for  a  complete  let-up  in  his  training.  But  if  he  is  weak  in 
his  legs,  and  it  is  evident  that  comparative  rest  will  not 
lenew  his  accustomed  strength  and  stoutness,  he  will  have 
to  have  a  let-up,  and  a  course  of  blistering  or  firing  re- 
sorted to,  and  before  you  do  it,  if  you  are  not  a  compe- 
tent judge  yourself  of  what  is  necessary  to  be  done  in  the 
case  consult  some  Veterenarian  of  standing  in  his  pro- 
fession and  follow  his  directions  in  the  matter.  But  if 
on  the  contrary,  the  horse  is  all  plumb  on  his  legs,  a 
season  of  comparative  rest  and  good  care,  will  take  him 
through  the  Winter,  and  bring  him  out  in  the  Spring  in 
fine  fettle,  and  eager  again  to  renew  the  contest  which 
will  be  ever  ready  to  welcome  him,  providing  he  is  not  a 
*  ringer."  After  you  get  him  home,  give  him  a  chance  to 
eat  all  the  fresh  grass  he  wants,  and  let  him  up  in  his 
work,  jogging  him  short  distances  about  every  other  day, 
and  if  there  have  been  any  inflammatory  symptoms  about 
his  legs  or  elsewhere,  they  will  shortly  disappear.  You 
can  have  his  shoes  removed  and  replace  them  with  a  set 
of  tips,  which  will  answer  all  purposes  for  him  to  do  his 
jogging  in,  and  will  give  his  feet  a  chance  to  expand  by 
allowing  the  heels  to  come  in  contact  with  the  ground, 
but  don't  stop  feeding  him  a  reasonable  amount  of  oats 
daily.  When  icy  roads  have  taken  the  place  of  soft  dirt 
roads,  you  will  need  to  have  him  shod  sharp  with  caulks, 
and  give  him  work  enough  to  keep  him  in  health  and

bodily  strength,  and  unless  you  are  very  anxious  to  sleigh- 
riae  and  brush  with  the  boys,  you  have  no  need  to  ch'p 
him.  I  would  not  indulge  in  speeding  him  at  all  during 
the  Winter,  as  he  will  have  all  the  fast  Avork  he  wants 
when  Springtime  comes.  A  horse  wintered  in  the  man- 
ner I  have  indicated,  can  be  made  "  June  fast,"  if  you 
need  the  speed  thus  early.  While  you  are  passing  the 
Winter  months,  subscribe  for  one  or  more  of  the  Weekly- 
Journals  of  the  country,  of  which  there  are  a  number,  to. 
wit:  Turf,  Field  and  Farm,  Spirit  of  the  Times,  of  New 
York,  or  the  W^estern  Sportsman,  of  Indianapolis,  or  the 
Chicago  Horseman  and  Dunton's  Spirit  of  the  Turf,  pub- 
lished in  Chicago,  all  of  which  are  interesting  reading, 
and  devoted  to  the  interests  of  Horsemen  throughout  the 
World.  No  Horseman  can  read  either  of  these  papers 
without  learning  something  of  value  to  him,  beside  enter- 
taining him  during  the  leisure  hours  at  home.  Any  ques- 
tion you  may  desire  to  ask  of  any  of  the  foregoing  jour- 
nals respecting  the  treatment  for  various  complaints  that 
horses,  as  well  as  other  domestic  animals,  are  subject  to, 
will  be  answered  through  their  columns  by  a  competent 
Veterinarian  employed  for  that  purpose,  free  of  charge, 
which  many  times  is  very  convenient,  especially  if  you 
reside  at  a  point  remote  from  a  Veterinary  Surgeon's 
place  of  business,  and  also  a  saving  in  expense.  No 
trotter  or  pacer  should  be  allowed  to  lay  on  a  superabun- 
dance of  fat  in  Winter,  as  it  will  have  to  be  removed,  and 
this  must  be  accomplished  at  the  expense  of  the  legs, 
largely.  But  a  horse  can  b-i  allowed  to  lay  on  some  fat, 
it  helps  him  to  keep  warm,  and  when  time  comes  to  shed 
his  coat  in  Spring,  the  fat  will  be  there  to  assist  nature  in 
the  reproduction  of  the  new  coat.  I  should  never  clip  a 
horse  designed  to  be  campaigned  the  following  season.

CHAPTER  XVII. 

DEVELOPING    A    PACEP. 

Many  of  the  trotting-horse  trainers  and  drivers,  even 
of  the  present  day,  have  had  but  limited  experience  in 
this  department,  if  any.  I  think  that  Indiana  has  at 
present  more  talent  in  the  line  of  developing  pacers  than 
any  other  State,  and  as  it  is  the  home  of  the  pacer  it  is 
not  to  be  wondered  at.  A  pacer  probably  will  give  evi- 
dence, if  he  is  going  to  show  any  remarkable  speed, 
sooner,  and  with  less  trouble,  in  the  hands  of  a  compe- 
tent man.  than  a  trotter.  The  lateral  movements  of  a 
pacer  in  action  at  once  demonstrates  that  there  should 
be  less  trouble,  by  odds  in  developing  him,  than  would 
be  ordinarily  with  a  trotter.  A  pacer  moves  a  side  at  a 
time,  or  the  fore  and  hind  legs  of  each  side  of  the  animal 
move  simultaneously;  now  all  that  is  necessaryis,  to  have 
a  level  head,  and  a  disposition  to  "go  on"  (without  which 
no  horse  is  worth  a  dollar  as  a  race  horse),"  together  with 
the  requisite  strength  bodily,  to  carry  him  along,  and  the 
condition  to  continue  those  exertions,  and  you  have  a 
pacer.  Ifyouhavea  pacing  bred  horse,  with  hard  bot- 
tomed crosses  in  his  pedigree,  and  he  shows  an  aptitude 
for  pacing,  you  would,  I  assume,  be  foolish  to  try  and 
convert  him,  and  make  a  trotter  of  him;  it  can  be  done  as 
a  rule,  but  the  chances  are  that  you  would  have  but  an 
indifferent  trotter,  where  you  might  have  had  a  *'vvhirl- 
wind"  in  the  form  of  a  pacer.  I  will  enumerate  some  of 
the  requisites  you  will  need  in  developing  a  pacer.  In 
the  first  place  a  pacing  horse  should  be  shod  as  light  in 
front,  with  steel  shoes,  as  possible,  and  have  a  shoe  (not 
a  plate)  on;  and  if  you  have  any  suspicion  he  will  touch 
his  knees,  you  want  the  most  approved  style  of  knee  boot 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  51 

you  can  find,  for  when  a  pacing  horse  hits  his  knee, 
squarely,  with  the  other  fore  foot  moving  at  speed,  and 
without  boots,  you  will  have  a  cripple  for  some  time,  and 
you  therefore  should  never  take  any  chances.  Knee  and 
quarter  boots  are  ordinarily  all  the  boots  you  will  need; 
they  are  at  all  events  the  most  important,  any  others  that 
may  be  needed  will  suggest  themselves  as  time  pro 
gresses.  A  pacer  can  move  rapidly  with  his  head  ele- 
vated by  the  check  pretty  high,  with  greater  ease  to  him- 
self than  can  a  trotter.  You  will  notice  by  close  attention 
that  nearly  every  pacer  that  can  go  fast,  goes  with  his 
head  in  a  peculiar  position,  nearly  all  higher  than  you 
would  expect  to  see  them  carry  their  heads  if  they  were 
trotting.  There  are  some  exceptions  to  this  rule,  it  is 
true,  but  in  teaching  a  pacer  to  go,  you  will  want  his'head 
pretty  well  up,  and  you  can  gauge  the  matter  as  the  re- 
quirements indicate.  In  five  weeks  from  the  time  you 
take  a  green  pacer  in  hand  you  will  be  able  to  judge 
pretty  accurately  whether  you  have  got  any  7iatural  speed 
or  not.  For  the  horse  should — if  he  was  in  good  plight,  as 
regards  flesh  and  soundness  when  you  took  him  in  hand — 
have  shown  you  he  has  some  speed,  if  there  is  any 
in  him — in  four  or  five  weeks.  It  is  the  theory  of 
some  good  trainers,  that  a  pacer  tires  in  his  legs  before 
he  co«;s  any  where  else,  as  evidenced  by  the  fact,  that 
when  a  pacer  does  leave  his  feet,  he  generally  makes  a 
wild  losing  break,  and  is  rarely  a  good  breaker.  The  lat- 
eral movements  of  the  pacing  gait  will,  I  think,  help  to 
establish  this  theory,  as  the  power  applied  to  move  the 
body  along  at  the  rapid  pace,  is  not  distributed  as  in  the 
the  trotter,  and  he  consequently  tires  sooner.  The  long 
distant  matches  of  earlier  times  substantiates  this  theory  ; 
notably,  the  ten  mile  races  between  Kentucky  Prince  and 
Hero,  the  pacer,  in  1853,  for  $5,000  a  side,  each  race  ;  in 
the  first  Hero  was  stopped  in  the  seventh  mile,  and  in  the 
last  he  struggled  on  and  quit  in  the  tenth  mile.  Although 
Hero  had  a  v/orld  of  speed  and  had  shown  a  mile  in  2-1 8^, 
he  tired,  and  in  the  last  race,  nine  miles  in  a  trifle  less 
than    twenty-five    minutes,    was   the   best    he   could    do. 


53  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

Kentucky  Prince  winning  both  races  easily,  driven  by 
the  veteran,  Hiram  Woodruff,  while  Hero  was  driven  by 
George  Spicer,  a  worthy  contemporary  of  Hiram's. 
Therefore  assuming  the  theory  to  be  correct,  that  a  pacer 
tires  in  his  legs  sooner  than  a  trotter,  it  stands  the  trainer 
ill  hand  to  season  the  pacers  legs  thoroughly.  The  pac- 
ing gait  is  not  as  trying  to  the  legs  as  the  trotting  gait, 
and  consequently  the  pacer  can,  and  does  stand  more  fast 
work  in  his  preparation  for  a  campaign,  or  in  the  course 
of  his  development  than  you  would  subject  the  average 
trotter  to.  All  the  rules  of  health,  feed,  care  and  man- 
agement in  his  sw^eats  and  races  are  identical  to  those  in 
vogue  respecting  the  management  of  trotters.  The  pac- 
ing mare  Gurgle,  now  owned  by  J.  I-  Case,  Esq.,  of 
Racine,  Wis.,  is  a  noticeable  example  of  how  near  you 
can  come  to  spoiling  a  pacer  of  the  first  magnitude  by 
endeavoring  to  make  an  indifferent  trotter.  Pat  Dicker- 
son,  of  North  Vernon,  Ind.,  bought  her  of  his  brother  in 
the  Spring  of  1883,  for  six  or  seven  hundred  dollars,  as  a 
trotter,  but  she  demonstrated  to  her  owner's  satisfaction 
in  the  first  race  he  had  her  in,  that  he  had  more  of  a  pacer 
than  trotter,  and  acting  upon  the  impulse,  changed  her 
shoes,  and  at  the  Chicago  meeting  she  distinguished  her- 
self in  the  great  pacing  contest,  wherein  Johnson  was  the 
winner,  by  finishing  a  good  second  in  2-13,  and  was  sold 
then  and  there  to  J.  I.  Case,  for,  I  think,  $7,000.  This 
was  a  happy  change.  Gurgle  was  sired  by  the  pacing 
stallion  Pocahontas  Boy,  sire  of  Buffalo  Girl,  J.  H.  Clark, 
of  Scio,  Alleghany  County,  New  York,  is  owner  of  Poca- 
hontas Boy.  Pacers  before  they  get  balanced  in  their 
gait  will  often  hit  the  inside  of  one  front  foot  against 
the  inside  of  the  hind  foot  of  the  opposite  side,  and 
sometimes  "  scalp  "  the  inside  of  the  hind  pastern,  in 
which  case  a  pair  of  scalping  or  toe  boots  would  be 
necessary ;  but  a  pair  of  very  light  toe  weights  from 
two  to  four  ounces,  ordinarily  corrects  the  habit,  and, 
once  over  it,  by  continued  proper  attention  to  shoeing 
and  driving,  it  rarely  returns.  I  believe  a  light  steel  bar 
shoe,  not  to  exceed  twelve  ounces  in  weight,  for  front 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  o3 

feet,  will  suit  a  pacer  better  than  any  other,  and  I  will 
add,  that  no  shoe  for  any  horse  is  as  good  as  a  bar  shoe 
properly  set.  There  should  be  a  space  between  the  froej 
and  the  bar  of  the  shoe,  when  first  applied,  so  you  can 
readily  slip  a  silver  quarter  of  a  dollar  between.  By  using 
a  bar  shoe,  the  horse  gets  a  natural  frog  pressure  and 
keeps  the  frog  pressed  up  into  the  sole  where  it  belongs, 
and  the  foot  will  stay  sound  longer  at  fast  work,  with  a 
bar  shoe  properly  applied  than  with  any  other.  In  driv- 
ing a  pacer,  a  different  position  in  the  sulky  may  be  as- 
sumed than  in  driving  trotters;  a  pacer  needs  more  weight 
on  his  back  than  a  trotter, and  the  position  intended  to 
throw  as  much  weight  on  the  horse's  back  as  possible 
should  be  assumed.  In  catching  a  pacer  when  he  makes 
a  break,  swing  him  a  little  side  wise,  first  one  way  then  the 
other,  he  has  got  to  catch  a  side  at  a  time  and  this  motion 
will  do  it  quicker  than  a  pull  you  would  take  on  a  trotter 
to  recover  him  from  a  break. 

There  is  a  family  that  belong  in  Southern  Indiana, 
named  Stewart,  who  are  natural  born  handlers  of  pacers. 
They  brought  out  Flora  Bell,  Greeley,  and  a  number  of 
others,  not  so  distinguished,  but  fast.  I  have  heard  them 
state  that  a  pacer  could  be  made  to  go  as  fast  as  he  ever 
would  in  sixty  days.  No  horse  designed  to  become  a  fast 
pacer  should  ever  be  allowed  to  trot;  make  him  either 
pace  or  walk.  A  double  gaited pacer  is  a  fraud  and  a  delu- 
sion.

CHAPTER  XVIII, 

HARNESSING    AND    DRIVING   HORSES, 

In  "hitching  a  horse,"  as  it  is  termed  among  horsemen, 
many  men  are  deficient,  otherwise  good  horsemen.  A 
horse  with  a  harness  on  that  does  not  fit  him,  is  in  about 
the  same  frame  of  mind  as  his  driver  would  be  with  a 
shirt  on  that  is  an  uncomfortable  fit.  See  that  your  head- 
stall fits  his  head,  and  that  the  hair  in  his  mane  and  fore- 
top  is  not  doubled  up  under  the  crown  piece  of  the  head- 
stall, the  saddle  should  be  set  at  the  right  point,  back  of 
withers,  and  the  back  strap  should  be  the  right  length  to 
keep  the  check-rein  from  pulling  the  saddle  forward  onto 
the  withers.  The  girths  should  be  buckled  snugly  and 
the  breeching  should  be  loose  enough  to  give  the  quarters 
plenty  of  room,  and  tight  enough  not  to  allow  the  wagon 
to  run  on  to  the  horse,  should  you  be  obliged  to  take  a 
pull  on  him.  Make  a  point  to  see  that  everything  about 
the  harness  and  vehicle  is  strong,  and  properly  hitched;  at- 
tention to  this  particular  often  saves  many  an  accident, 
and  in  some  cases,  loss  of  life  and  property.  Martingales 
should  be  long  enough,  ordinarily,  to  allow  the  reins  to 
draw  straight  from  the  bit  to  turrets,  and  in  many  cases 
can  be  dispensed  with  entirely.  The  use  of  head- 
stalls with  winkers,  can  also,  in  many  cases  be  dispensed 
with. 

In  trotting  and  pacing  horses  for  racing  purposes,  I 
think  an  open  bridle  is  preferable.  Bat  in  road  horses 
that  are  inclined  to  be  slack  drivers  I  think  winkers  are 
an  advantage,  as  without  them  a  lazy  horse  is  watching 
you  and  will  slacken  his  gait  if  he  can  see  you  are  not 
prepared  to  give  him  a  cut  with  the  whip. 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  55 

In  driving,  the  whip  is  an  important  auxiliary,  and  you 
should  never  get  in  behind  a  horse  without  one,  but  an 
indiscriminate  use  of  the  whip  will  produce  unsatisfactory 
results  with  horses,  as  well  as  with  the  growing  generation 
of  men.  Never  use  it  unless  it  is  necessary,  then  let  the 
horse  know  that  it  is  no  plaything.  In  driving  horses, 
insist  upon  an  even  rate  of  speed  when  you  start  them 
up,  and  don't  pull  at  the  bit,  only  steady  the  horse,  he 
will  as  he  improves  in  strength  and  gait,  take  hold  of 
the  bit  hard  enough  to  suit  you.  Horses  learn  to  go 
themselves  if  they  are  not  interfered  with  and  have  the 
capacity  to  go.  A  horse  in  a  horseman's  hands  may  in  a 
short  time  learn  to  go  a  clip  that  will  carry  a  man  ten  or 
twelve  miles  an  hour,  without  any  persuasion,  and  do  it 
cheerfully,  and  passing  into  another  man's  hands,  get  in  a 
short  time  so  that  he  will  have  to  be  clubbed  to  get  him 
ten  miles  in  an  hour,  or  else  he  will  graduate  into  a 
chronic  puller ;  now  this  is  all  in  the  treatment  and  driv- 
ing. I  have  seen  some  ladies  who  were  exceptionally 
good  drivers  of  road  horses  and  exhibited  a  judgment 
and  discretion  found  in  but  few  of  the  sterner  sex.  For 
horses  that  shy,  and  are  afraid  of  objects  they  are  unac- 
quainted with,  of  course  you  must  be  on  the  lookout  for. 
But  the  fear  in  the  horse  is  oftener  intensified  by  the 
timid  driver,  than  a  catastrophe  is  averted  by  such  a 
driver's  exertions.  Watch  your  horse  but  don't  commu- 
nicate to  him  through  the  medium  of  the  reins  and  bit, 
that  you  anticipate  any  unruly  exhibition  from  him. 
There  is  a  magnetism  existing  which  I  cannot  account 
for,  that  is  communicated  from  the  driver  to  the  horse  and 
from  the  horse  to  the  man  through  the  medium,  of  the 
reins  and  bit.  Any  man  having  had  much  experience  in 
riding  and  driving  horses,  can  attest  to  this  statement. 
You  may  go  out  to  drive,  not  feeling  first  rate,  on  a  fine 
morning  ;  if  the  horse  possesses  a  superabundance  of  ani- 
mal spirits,  you  will  shortly  begin  to  feel  better  and  ex- 
hilerated  by  the  association.  Some  may  say  it  is  only  the 
air  and  exercise,  and  constant  and  rapid  change  of  scenery, 
but  I  know   better,  you  get  into   a  street   car,   and   ride, 


56  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

eight  or  ten  miles  at  the  same  rate  as  behind  the  horse 
and  you  will  be  able  to  appreciate  the  difference.  I  would 
not  give  a  cent  to  ride  behind  a  horse  if  I  couldn't  drive 
him.  I  have  no  doubt  many  men  have  experienced  the 
difference  between  riding  with  a  friend,  he  doing  the 
driving,  and  driving  themselves. 

In  recovering  a  horse  from  a  break,  some  horses  acquire 
the  habit  of  catching  their  gait  by  a  pull  upon  the  left 
rein,  some  will  only  catch  with  the  right,  which  habit  is 
formed  by  the  driver  to  whom  they  owe  their  education. 
A  horse  should  not  be  snatched  fromx  side  to  side  but 
steady  him  until  he  knows  what  he  is  about,  and  ordina- 
rily by  a  slight  shake  of  the  bit  he  will  recover  his  trot 
readily.  Never  allow  a  horse  to  slacken  his  rate  of  speed 
if  it  is  possible  to  catch  himj  without  doing  so.  There  is 
occasionally  a  horse  that  will  leave  his  feet  and  make  a 
couple  of  jumps,  when  a  steady  pull  will  seemingly  catch 
him  in  the  air  and  he  will  land  in  a  square  trot  and  ap- 
parently glorying  in  his  accomplishment.  Horses  that 
leave  their  feet  without  cause,  like  interfering,  brushing 
themselves,  etc.,  and  are  moving  entirely  within  their  limit 
of  speed,  a  little  whalebone  does  a  world  of  good,  and 
you  can  make  them  understand  by  its  use,  that  you  will 
put  up  with  no  such  foolishness.  But  before  you  use  the 
whip  be  sure  that  the  horse  is  not  brushing  himself  any- 
where, in  which  case  you  would  commit  an  unpardonable 
mistake  by  whipping  him,  and  a  horse  may  be  guilty  of 
the  offense  of  leaving  his  feet  in  a//^j/«/ manner  without 
being  able  seemingly  to  control  his  animal  spirits.  Work 
is  the  remedy  to  be  applied  in  this  case  instead  of  the 
whip.

CHAPTER   XIX. 

BUYING    A    HORSE. 

In  buying  a  horse  that  is  supposed  to  possess  speed, 
insist  upon  seeing  him  harnessed  and  driven,  if  he  is 
broken  to  harness.  Never  buy  a  "  lot  trotter  "  unless  you 
know  to  a  dead  certainty  that  he  will  not  '"'shut  up  "when 
you  hitch  him  in  harness.  The  writer  has  seen  horses  thai: 
in  the  field,  could  show  you  a  gait  that  would  seem  to 
indicate  a  capacity  to  wipe  out  all  previous  records,  and 
when  harnessed  could  not  go  fast  enough  to  keep  warm. 
Of  course,  a  thorough  horseman  can  judge  something  of 
the  claims  to  merit  a  horse  or  colt  may  have  in  respect 
to  speed,  by  observing^  their  action  in  the  field,  being  able 
by  reason  of  their  experience  and  observation  to  discrimi- 
nate between  a  high  "tail  over  the  back"  gait,  and 
genuine  trotting  action,  he  would  take  into  consideration 
the  conformation  of  the  animal  in  general,  and  also  his 
near  ancestry,  or  pedigree  upon  which  the  writer  places 
considerable  reliance.  I  had  rather  have  a  green  colt 
out  of  sire  and  dam  who  were  performers,  than  out  of  a 
sire  and  dam  not  performers,  whose  offspring  is  untried  ; 
other  things  being  equal.  If  a  man  comes  to  you  and 
says  :  '*  I  have  got  a  horse  that  can  show  a  mile  in  '25, 
he  is  sound  and  all  right  and  no  record,  and  I'll  sell  him 
for  a  thousand  dollars!"  If  he  will  agree  to  show  you 
2-25  and  take  off  fifty  dollars  per  second  for  every  second 
he  falls  short  of  the  mark,  the  probability  is,  if  you  can 
nail  him  to  this  agreement,  he  will  have  to  give  you  the 
horse  and  odds  besides.  Men  always  over-rate  the  speed 
their  horses  possess,  when  negotiating  a  sale.  If  you  are 
not  a  judge  of  speed,  there  is  no  sure  test  for  you  to  ap- 
ply but  a  watch,  it  will  generally  beat  any  trotter.     There 


58  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

are  many  men  whose  experience  has  made  them  excel- 
lent judges  of  speed,  and  Vvill  readily  depend  upon  their 
judgment  in  estimating  the  speed  of  a  horse  under  nego- 
tiation. 

Any  unsoundness  of  limbs,  feet  or  wind,  in  a  trotter  or 
pacer  renders  the  animal  practically  of  little  value, 
there  are  some  exceptions  however.  The  loss  of  an  eye 
would  not  incapacitate  a  horse  for  turf  or  road  purposes, 
and  horses  with  a  bone  spavin  on  each  leg,  are  frequently 
of  considerable  value,  but  atiy  infirmity  of  the  locomotive 
or  breathing  powers  will  result  in  great  disappointment 
to  the  owner  nine  times  out  of  ten  ;  so,  if  you  value  your 
peace  of  mind,  don't  buy  a  cripple.  Size  in  horses  men 
may  differ  about  more  than  either  of  my  foregoing  obser- 
vations, respecting  speed  and  soundness.  Horses  both 
big  and  little,  have  been  not  only  great  performers  but 
great  lasters  as  well.  From  fifteen  to  sixteen  hands  seems 
by  experience  to  be  about  the  range  that  first-class  per- 
formers cover  in  respect  to  height.  A  sixteen  hand  horse 
is  large  enough  and  a  fifteen  hand  horse  is  small  enough 
for  turf  purposes-  Length  of  body  is  quite  as  important 
as  height.  A  horse  "  long  on  the  groand  "  has  an 
advantage  over  a  horse  much  shorter ;  some  horses 
fifteen  and  a  half  hands  high,  frequently  are  longer 
than  other  horses  sixteen  hands,  in  which  case  other 
things  being  equal,  the  smaller  horse  I  would  prefer  for 
a  race  horse.  Limbs,  feet,  respiratory  and  digestive  organs 
in  a  sound  and  healthy  condition,  we  must  admit,  con- 
tribute largely  in  the  make  up  of  a  horse,  but  a  horse 
without  a  well  balanced  head  is  of  no  earthly  account  as 
a  race  or  road  horse  of  the  first  order.  The  brain  is  the 
seat  of  nervous  energy,  and  this  is  what  is  absolutely 
essential  in  a  performer  of  the  first  magnitude.  VV^ere 
this  not  a  fact,  how  can  the  superiority  of  Maud  S.,  Jay 
Eye  See,  St.  Julian,  Richball  and  Johnson,  be  accounted 
for,  as  compared  with  others  of  the  equine  family.  Thou- 
sands of  horses  all  over  the  United  States,  trained  and 
untrained,  possesses  as  fine  muscular  development,  just 
as  good  bone,  from  the  same  families,  been  educated  and 


DEVELOP  SPEED  IN  HORSES.  59 

handled  by  just  as  good  men,  and  liave  not  lacked  in 
opportunities  to  distinguish  themselves.  If  the  brain  is 
not  the  fountain  of  speed  in  the  trotter  and  pacer,  will 
not  some  Solon  of  the  present  day  enlighten  us?  The 
existence  of  this  brain  power  in  the  requisite  degree  to 
impell  the  animal  at  the  rate  of  a  mile  in  2-10  is  not  ap- 
parent to  the  observation,  and  it  remains  to  be  seen 
whether  the  horse  has  this  requisite  or  not.  All  horses 
exhibit  in  their  countenance  and  eyes,  an  index  of  their 
general  disposition.  If  you  will  judge  them  in  the  same 
manner  you  would  estimate  a  man's  character,  providing 
you  are  a  good  physiognomist,  you  will  come  as  near  the 
right  estimate  as  any  body.  I  have  seen  men  who  placed 
great  stress  upon  a  high  tempered  boisterously  disposed 
colt,  some  kicker  or  runaway  animal,  that  did  it  out  of 
pure  "cussedness."  I  have  seen  men  go  and  buy  one  of 
this  kind,  and  unbeknown  to  any  neighbor  work  at  his 
purchase  for  a  month  or  six  weeks,  felicitously  awaiting 
for  the  time  to  arrive  for  him  to  astonish  and  paralyze  his 
friends  and  acquaintances  with  his  newly  acquired  treas- 
ure, but  I  have  never  known  a  man  made  happy  by  the 
purchase  of  such  an  animal.  We  prefer  a  mild  mannered 
sensibly  disposed  horse  to  any  hot  headed  kicker  or  run- 
away animal,  both  for  a  road  or  a  race  horse,  or  in  any 
other  capacity.  In  respect  to  breedins^,  a  well  bred  horse 
will  not  be  overlooked  on  account  of  the  absence  of 
known  pedigree.  The  breeding  is  apparent  in  the  animal 
whether  good  or  bad.  In  selecting  a  trotter  that  is  un- 
developed from  among  a  number  of  unbroken  colts,  the 
pedigree  and  performances  of  his  immediate  ancestors 
should  not  be  overlooked,  although  one  colt  from  the  sire 
and  dam  of  a  number  of  colts  and  fillies  may  be  a  phe- 
nomenal trotter  or  pacer,  while  the  others,  full  brothers 
and  sisters,  are  of  no  particular  account.  The  Bruno 
and  Brunette  family  was  remarkable  for  their  all  being 
trotters  of  no  mean  capacity.  Bruno  and  Brunette  trot-

and  Bona  Fide  has  no  record,  but  is  a  trotter;  all  these 
colts  by  R}sdyks  Hambleionian,  and  Old  Kate, of  whose 
breeding  nothing  is  known.  Some  men  we  hear  speak 
very  regretfully  on  account  of  the  deaths  of  such  sires  as 
Rysdyks  Hambletonian,  Blue  Bull,  Ethan  Allen,  George 
Wilkes,  etc.,  as  though  there  would  never  be  another  sire 
capable  of  producing  a  first-class  trotter,  but  I  believe 
that  to-day  there  are  ten  stallions  calculated  and  capable 
of  siring  as  fast  and  game  trotters  as  any  of  the  dead 
heroe^  proved  themselves  capable  of  doing,  to  where 
there  was  one  such  sire  fifteen  years  ago.  All  there  is 
necessary  to  prove  this  asseriion  is  time  and  opportunity. 
We  vv^ould  not  detract  from  the  fame  of  the  dead  heroes 
above  alluded  to,  if  we  could.  At  the  same  time,  I  believe 
in  according  to  the  living  and  vigorous  representatives 
now  in  the  stud,  the  opportunity  they  deserve,  believing 
that  the  time  is  not  far  distant,  when  some  trotter  or 
pacer  will  do  a  mile  in  two  minutes,  and  moreover,  I  be- 
lieve that  there  will  appear  upon  the  trottmg  and  pacing 
horizon  within  the  next  three  years,  a  double  team  that 
will  wipe  out  all  previous  records,  any  way  of  going,  and 
both  horses  go  the  same  gait,  or  in  other  words,  no  run- 
ning mate  will  be  employed.

CONCLUSION. 

When  a  horse  has  come  to  his  speed,  do  not  dog  the 
speed  out  of  him  by  long  tedious  slow  jogging,  for  when 
his  limbs  are  seasoned  to  go  a  mile  in  good  time,  say  2-30, 
or  a  little  better,  his  further  improvement  in  speed  will 
result  from  short  jogs  and  sharp  brushes  of  speed  in  his 
work,  not  too  extended,  together  with  close  attention  to 
the  conditioning  process,  vvith  a  repeat  once  a  week  or 
ten  days,  if  you  are  not  trotting  him  in  races,  and  if  you 
are,  he  will  not  need  a  repeat.  Don't  over  work  him; 
two-thirds  of  the  "quitters"  are  horses  that  have  had  too 
much  work  ;  and  bear  in  mind  another  important  truth, 
different  horses  will  require  different  treatment  in  respect 
both  to  feeding,  water  and  work,  and  if  you  should  have 
a  dozen  horses  in  charge,  probably  not  more  than  two 
of  them  would  require  the  same  treatment,  and  your 
judgment  must  guide  you  as  to  feed,  water,  work,  shoeing 
and  hitching.  No  man  has  ever  attained  a  desirable 
reputation  as  a  trainer  and  driver  of  trotting  horses  with- 
out possessing  the  elements  in  his  make  up,  that  would 
have  made  him  successful  in  any  other  department  of  life 
wherein  judgment,  perseverance  and  a  level  head,  would 
be  required  to  insure  success.  As  to  the  general  integ- 
rity of  the  profession  I  will  say,  that  I  believe  they  have 
exhibited  as  much  fidelity  to  the  trusts  reposed  in  them 
as  any  other  class  of  men  ;  bank  officials  and  treasurers  of 
trust  funds  not  excepted.  One  thing  is  certain,  you 
need  never  expect  any  man  to  serve  you  unflinchingly, 
unless  you  make  it  an  object  for  him  to  do  so.  Very  little 
complaint  is  ever  heard  from  men  who  employ  first-class 
trainers  and  drivers,  and  pay  them  what  their  services 
are  worth.  And  further,  no  horseman  on  earth  can  take 
a  natural  born  *Muffer  "  and  make  a  race  horse  of  him, 
and  still  you  hear  men  every  day  condemned  and  ma- 


62  HAY  SEED,  OR  HOW  TO 

ligned  for  not  making  a  win?ier  out  of  some  animal  utterly 
destitute  of  the  first  element  of  a  race  horse  (except  in 
the  mind  of  his  owner).  If  you  set  out  to  develop  a  trot- 
ter, your  object,  I  presume,  will  be  the  dollars  and  cents 
that  will  accrue  as  speed  is  acquired  by  the  horse.  If 
you  have  not  that  object  in  view  you  will  never  make  a  trot- 
ter. I  have  never  known  a  first-class  trotter  or  race  horse 
of  any  description,  brought  out  by  a  trainer,  just  for  the 
fun  of  the  thing;  amusement  is  not  a  sufficient  incentive. 
As  I  observed  at  the  outset,  do  not  trot  or  pace  your 
horse  for  any  one's  amusement,  or  your  own  even,  if  he 
don't  need  speeding;  great  harm  has  befallen  horses  in 
showing  them  to  people  who  had  no  interest  in  seeing 
them  go,  but  idle  curiosity. 

I  have  endeavored  in  the  foregoing  pages,  to  give  the 
information  the  amateur  horseman  would  naturally  crave 
upon  the  subject  of  developing  speed,  at  the  outset  of  his 
career  as  a  trainer.  Perhaps  there  \\i\\  never  be  a  man 
read  this  book  but  what  knows,  or  thinks  he  knows 
more  than  the  writer,  but  that  is  nothing,  there  is 
no  subject  that  the  average  man,  and  \voman  even,  think 
they  are  as  competent  to  grapple  with  as  The  Horse,  and 
if  you  desire  to  arouse  a  man's  antagonism,  tell  him  he 
doesn't  know  anything  about  a  horse.  If  I  have  succeeded 
in  interesting  you,  reader,  to  the  extent,  that  you  will  seek 
to  upset  any  of  the  theories  or  practices  laid  down  in 
this  work,  I  am  satisfied.  There  is  a  great  amount  of 
pleasure  and  satisfaction  in  the  companionship  of  horses 
if  they  are  good  ones,  but  if  you  possess  the  knowledge 
and  discernment  that  will  enable  you,  not  only  to  select 
a  good  one  from  among  ten  thousand,  but  to  develop  him 
in  speed  and  money  value  also,  you  combine  pleasure 
with  profit.  Many  a  horse  to-day  is  performing  menial 
service  that  had  he  in  his  youth  been  taken  in  hand  by  a 
thorough  horseman,  would  have  had  his  name  enrolled 
in  the  2-30  list.  JS/o  horse  C2in  ever  distinguish  himself 
without  an  opportunity  and  the  assistance  of  a  compe- 
tent trainer,  and  knowledge  is  the  pre-requisite  of  the 
trainer's  qualifications.

violation  of  this  requirement  a  fine  of  $100  shall  be 
imposed,  together  wqth  suspension  of  the  horse  until  paid,

BETTING  RULES.  93 


PRKF-^CK  TO  IBEOra^XO  RUI^KS. 


In  framing  the  general  Rules  and  Regulations,  the  first 
Congress  (in  1870)  made  no  reference  therein  to  betting. 
But,  acting  upon  the  belief  that  a  published  code  of  bet- 
ting rules,  emanating  from  a  suitable  committee,  would 
assist  in  the  correction  of  abuses,  and  thus  promote  the 
reformatory  objects  of  the  National  Association,  it  'was 
moved  that  the  presiding  officer  appoint  such  a  commit- 
tee, which  being  agreed  to,  the  chair  appointed  three 
prominent  gentlemen  to  discharge  that  duty,  with 
authority  to  select  and  add  two  more  to  their  number. 
Through  that  committee,  there  was  established  the  Code 
of  32  Betting  Rules  published  in  1870,  and  these  were 
revised  and  amended  by  another  committee  of  five 
gentlemen  appointed  from  the  Congress  of  187 1,  v/ho 
reported  the  Code  of  31  Betting  Rules  published  that 
year;  since  which  time  (no  change  having  been  made 
therein),  the  same  Code  has  continued  in  use  among 
turfmen,  and  is  now  re-published  as  remaining  in  force. 

These  Betting  Rules  form  no  part  of  the  laws  of  the 
Association,  but  they  are  published  in  this  place  for  the 
convenience  of  those  who  desire  to  consult  them.

oft"  for  fraud  or  collusion. 

No.  2.  If  the  race  is  postponed,  it  shall  not  affect  the

would  wm.  If  he  bets  they  will  beat  two  minutes  and 
thirty  seconds  (2.30),  and  they  make  exactly  two  thirty 
(2.30),  he  loses;  but  if  he  takes  two  minutes  and  thirty 
seconds  (2.30),  against  the  field,  and  they  make  exactly 
two  thirty  (2.30),  it  is  a  tie  or  draw  bet.  All  time  bets  to

stake  holders  shall  not  be  held  responsible  for  moneys

Different  Styles  of  Betting  by  Turf  Speculators  cf  the 
Present  Day. 


Perhaps  a  brief  explanation  cf  the  manner  in  which 
wagers  are  laid  upon  turf  events  will  not  be  out  of  place 
in  this  volume.  Every  prominent  race  meeting  of  the 
present  day  offers  its  patrons  the  opportunity  of  invest- 
ing their  wealth  upon  the  "  favorite,"  or  the  ''field,"  in 
any  race  that  may  come  off.  The  favorite  method  of 
betting  money  on  races  is  the  auction  pool  system,  which 
was   introduced  here  by  a  man  named   Doctor   Under- 


98  BETTiyO  RULES. 

wocd,  about  thirty  years  ago,  who  became  not  only  an 
attraction,  but  a  necessity  at  every  large  race  meeting  of 
his  day  and  time,  as  no  meeting  was  complete  without 
Doc.  Underwood,  as  he  was  familiarly  called  by  all  the 
patrons  of  the  turf.  Many  *'  silver  tongued  orators  " 
have  appeared  in  Underwood's  role  as  pool-sellers,  but 
a  gentleman  named  Herdic,  hailing  from  Williamsport, 
Pennsylvania,  I  think  can  transfer  more  money 
from  speculators  pockets  into  the  pool  box  in  a 
given  time,  than  any  man  that  has  appeared  since 
Underwood's  day.  Pool-sellers  are  merely  the  stake- 
holders of  speculators  who  desire  to  deposit  the  amount 
of  their  bet  where  they  know  they  can  get  it  when  the 
event  is  decided  upon  which  the  wager  is  laid,  as  pool- 
sellers  are  compelled  by  all  large  racing  associations  to 
give  bonds,  or  secure  their  patrons  against  any  default  of 
payment  as  soon  as  the  bet  is  decided.  To  illustrate: 
Suppose  ten  horses  start  in  a  race,  or  are  expected  to 
start,  the  pool-seller  commences  by  selling  at  auction  the 
first  choice  which  may  bring  §ioo;  he  then  sells  in  the 
same  way  the  second  choice,  which  may  bring  $50;  now 
there  is  $150  in  the  pool,  and  he  will  probably  sell  the 
*' field,"  or  all  the  other  horses  in  a  bunch,  for  §20,  and 
the  total  pool  amounts  to  $170.  If  you  have  bought  the 
favorite,  or  any  other  part  of  the  pool,  you  step  up  to 
the  cashier  and  pay  him  the  amount  you  bid  and  receive 
a  card,  or  pool  ticket  as  it  is  called,  which  states  the 
name  of  the  horse  you  have  selected,  the  amount  you 
have  paid,  and  the  total  amount  of  the  pool.  If  the 
horse  you  have  selected  wins  the  race,  you,  upon  presen- 
tation of  your  ticket,  are  paid  i^he  total  amount  of  the 
pool,  less  three  per  cent,  which  pAys  the  pool-seller  for 
his  time  and  trouble.  ^Money  deposited  with  the  pool- 
seller  at  any  large  meeting  is  just  as  safe  as  though  it  was 
in  a  bank,  as  far  as  he  is  concerned,  as  pool-buyers  would 
be  a  little  too  desperate  a  class  of  creditors  for  any  man 
to  fool  with.  In  some  cases  the  horses  are  all  sold  sepa- 
rately, which  is  called  "  selling  them  down."  In  such  a 
case,  of  course,  there  is  no  "  field." 


BETTING  RULES.  m 

Paris  Mutiials,  or  "  French  pools,"  as  they  are  called, 
are  conducted  differently.  The  horses  are  all  sold  at 
the  same  price,  from  ^5  to  §25  ;  each  and  every  heat  is 
a  race.  The  sales  are  kept  track  of  by  means  of  a  regis- 
ter called  a  Paris  Mutual  machine,  which  registers  in 
plain  sight  of  all  the  buyers  the  number  of  tickets  sold 
on  each  horse,  as  well  as  the  /^/^/ number  of  tickets,  and 
a  speculator  can  see  at  a  glance  exactly  the  value  of  each 
ticket  sold  on  the  winner  at  that  moment.  At  the  con- 
clusion of  each  heat  the  total  amount  of  the  receipts  for 
tickets  is  divided  between  the  holders  of  tickets  on  the 
winner,  less  the  commission  of  the  pool-seller,  which  is 
five  per  cent,  usually. 

Book-making  is  another  system  of  betting,  which  is  a 
style  of  betting  in  vogue  in  England  for  a  long  time,  but 
has  been  introduced  in  this  country  quite  recently,  and 
within  the  last  ten  years  has  made  rapid  strides  into  pop- 
ular favor,  particularly  at  all  "  running  meetings,"  Book- 
makers bet  agaiiist  every  horse  in  the  race  winning,  and 
s:eneraUy  give  "  odds,"  such  as  five  to  one,  ten  to  one, 
and  as  high  as  seventy  to  one.  If  you  desire  to  back  any 
particular  horse  and  the  book-maker  is  giving  the  odds 
of  five  to  one  on  him,  he  will  not  let  you  h^tless  than  five 
dollars,  so  you  lay  five  against  twenty-five  that  the 
horse  you  have  backed  will  win  the  race  over  all  others, 
and  the  book-maker  has  the  "field  "  against  you  in  every 
transaction.  No  commission  is  collected  by  book-makers. 
In  trotting  and  pacing  races  every  heat  is  a  race,  same  as 
m  the  French  pool  system.

APPENDIX,  183 


CHAPTEE  I. 

DIFFERENT    KINDS    OF    TRAINERS. 

A  few  words  of  advice  to  parties  having  horses  they 
desire  to  have  trained,  ma}'  perhaps  be  of  benefit  to  some 
of  my  readers.  There  are  two  classes  of  trotting  horse 
trainers,  viz. :  One  class,  is  looking  all  the  time  for  a 
campaigner,  to  take  out  and  trot  in  races,  and  are  never 
satisfied  to  remain  permanently,  in  any  locality  and 
w^ork  at  developing  green  horses.  This  class,  generally, 
in  the  spring,  set  out  ostensibly,  with  the  intention  of 
handling  trotters  at  your  track,  and  to  remain  all  the 
season,  but  by  the  first  of  July  they  will  manage  some 
way,  to  get  two  or  three  horses,  whose  owners  are  not 
proof  against  "  wind,"  and  they  will  be  found  after  this 
date,  tiying  to  break  up  the  country  by  winning  what 
money  there  is  in  circulation.  They  generally  struggle 
through  the  season,  if  the  owner  and  backer  holds  out ; 
but  November  will  usually  find  them  with  a  linen  duster, 
split  up  the  back,  in  lieu  of  an  overcoat. 

I  have  known  a  number  of  this  class  of  trainers,  who 
were  really  competent  men,  and  good  drivers  and  condi- 
tioners, but  had  not  the  tenacity  of  purpose,  to  withstand 
the  temptation,  to  undertake  a  campaign  with  horses, 
until  they  struck  a  horse,  having  the  capacity  to  go  out 
and  icin.  These  men  get  uneasy,  after  remaining  located 
a  short  time,  and  seem  to  feel  that  they  are  wasting  their 
existence,  and  will  not  give  horses  they  may  have  in  their 
charge,  (that  they  know  will  not  be  campaigned)  the 
attention,  and  pains,  they  know  so  well  how  to  bestow. 
There  is  another  class  of  men,  who  prefer  to  locate 
somewhere  permanently  and,  train.  They  may  occa- 
sionally be  seen  at  fairs  with  some  of  their  horses,  but 
very  many  of  this  class  are  incompetent,  lacking  experi- 
ence, and  judgment,  as  well  as  pluck,  to  drive  a  horse 
out  in  company,  or  anywhere  else.    They  will  (many  of 


184  APPENDIX. 

them)  take  a  horse  to  train  for  any  price,  from  fifteen 
dollars  per  month  up.  Take  the  horse,  feed  him  about 
a  ])eck  of  wheat  bran,  to  every  quart  of  oats,  and  a 
little  hay — that  no  animal  but  a  goat  ought  to  eat — and 
you  will  go  oat,  in  a  couple  of  weeks,  to  see  how  the 
horse  is  getting  along.  There  is  something  out  of  joint 
when  yoii  come,  and  they  can't  hitch  him  that  day  for 
you,  but  will  tell  you,  to  come  out  in  a  week  from  that 
time, and  they  will  astonish  you;  come  at  a  certain  hour. 
You  go  out  at  the  appointed  time,  and  Mr.  Man  will  not 
be  there ;  he  had  to  go  away.  You  bother  in  this  way 
for  three  or  four  weeks.  In  the  meantime  your  horse 
has  got  thin  in  flesh  and  weak  from  starvation  ;  cannot 
of  course  show  any  speed ;  you  get  disgusted,  think 
perhaps  you  got  cheated,  when  you  bought  him,  and 
finally  sell  him  at  a  loss,  and  retire  from  the  business 
of  picking  out  trotters  for  a  time. 

This  same  horse  passes  into  other  hands,  gets  a  chance 
to  pick  up  some  flesh  ;  owner  knows  how  to  use  him — 
perhaps  has  read  "  Hayseed  "  with  a  view  of  learning 
something  last  season  and  has  developed  into  something 
of  a  horseman.  You  tackle  him  on  the  road,  some  day, 
with  your  best  horse,  thinking  you  will  have  an  easy 
victory  over  your  cast-ofl"  purchase,  when  he  downs  you 
easy^  and  you  begin  to  realize  there  is  as  much  differ- 
ence in  the  treatment  of  horses  as  there  is  in  horses. 

You  catch  one  of  these  "  two -for -Jive  "  trainers  feeding 
nearly  all  wheat  bran,  two,  or  three  times  in  succession, 
and  remonstrate  with  him  about  it,  he  will  tell  you  he 
don't  propose  to  let  his  horses  get  burnt  up ;  and  you  ask 
him  if  grass  would  not  be  a  preventive  against  the 
burning  process,  and  he  will  probably  tell  you  that  he 
would  rather  give  them  bran,  than  take  the  chances  of 
their  dying  with  the  colic.  Many  of  this  class  of  train- 
ers, keep  on  fooling  owners  from  year,  to  year,  and  make 
money,  by  cheating  the  horses  out  of  the  feed  they  are 
entitled  to,  and  should  have,  and  you  will  often  hear  it 
remarked  of  this  class,  that  they  are  careful  men,  and 
will  not  over-drive  or  hurt  a  horse,  which  is  usually 
true,  for  they  know  that  the  system  of  diet,  they  subject 


APPEyDIX,  185 

their  horses  to,  will  not  admit  of  much  work.  Driven 
twice  a  week,  is  about  all  the  work  your  horse  will 
stand  in  this  man's  hands,  and  a  very  few  rubbers  and 
grooms  will  take  care  of  a  large  stable  of  horses. 

I  have  said  that  there  are  two  classes  of  trainers, 
which  I  have  attempted  to  describe,  and  my  descrip- 
tion will  be  endorse  by  an  occasional  reader.  But 
there  is  another  class  of  trainers,  who  are  entirel}^  dif- 
ferent men.  This  last  class  are  men  who  intend  to 
earn  the  money  they  charge  you  for  training  your 
horse,  and  many  of  tbein  will  tell  you,  after  they  have 
had  your  horse  long  enough  to  form  an  opinion  of 
him,  whether  it  is  worth  while  to  persevere  in  training 
him.  They  get  all  the  business  they  can  attend  to^ 
any  way,  and  regard  their  reputation  as  prophets  in 
their  line  of  business,  to  the  extent  that  they  will  not 
purposely  deceive  a  patron  for  the  sake  of  the  amount 
of  money  they  may  receive  for  the  care  of  liis  horse. 
I  know  a  number  of  this  kind  of  men,  and  they  are 
rarely  seen  at  race  meetings,  except  when  the}^  have  a 
colt  to  trot  in  some  stake  race  for  which  he  has  prepared 
him.  This  is  the  kind  of  a  maa  to  work  horses  for  me. 
They  charge  you  a  good  price,  and  earn  it.  But  you 
as  an  owner  need  some  experience,  and  must  observe 
for  yourself,  to  teach  you  whose  hands  to  put  your 
horse  into.  I  have  described  the  different  kinds  of 
trainers,  and  you  can  take  your  choice. 

The  information  you  should  acquire  from  a  close 
perusal  of  this  work  will  qualify  you  to  select  a  trainer 
(if  you  want  to  send  your  trotter  away)  that  will  do 
justice  to  the  animal,  and  this  same  information  should 
qualify  you  to  judge  as  to  whether  it  is  worth  while  to 
have  him  trained.  If  he  is  not  bred  well  enough  for  a 
trotter,  and  cannot  in  your  hands  show  you  a  three- 
minute  gait,  after  having  a  fair  chance,  do  not  get  the 
big  head  by  listening  to  some  trainer's  advice,  who 
wants  the  horse  to  work;  you  had  (if  you  feel  incom- 
petent to  judge  for  yourself)  better  call  in  some  disin- 
terested advice  from  some  of  your  acquaintances;  they 
will  not  charge  you  anything.

CHAPTEE  II. 

SUPPLEMENTARY    REMARKS    RESPECTING    PACERS. 

In  the  original  edition  of  this  work  I  omitted  an  item 
that  is  very  important  to  a  man  who  attempts  to  handle 
pacers  that  are  not  confirmed  in  their  gait,  and  that 
will  change  legs  in  front,  putting  one  foot  ahead  first, 
and  after  going  a  short  distance  change  and  put  the 
other  one  forward,  out  of  its  turn,  and  change  almost 
immediately  the  hind  legs  to  correspond  with  the 
motion  in  front ;  or  change  and  trot  or  rack,  or  foxtrot. 
All  this  is  very  annoying  and  very  difficult  to  overcome, 
and  will  generally  exhibit  itself  in  double-gaited  horses 
that  have  been  "saddled"  some,  or  that  some  one  has 
attempted  to  convert  to  trotting.  To  overcome  this 
trouble,  in  the  first  place,  see  that  the  horse  is  shod  as 
near  right  as  possible,  and  that  he  is  not  soro  or  tender 
in  his  feet  or  tendons,  which,  would  make  him  unsteady 
in  his  gait.  After  getting  him  balanced  up  with  ten 
or  twelve-ounce  shoes  in  front,  and  six  to  eight-ounce 
shoes  behind,  commence  to  jog  him  slowly  two  or  three 
davs,  and  see  if  he  will  not  go  square  at  a  slow  gait, 
which  he  may  do.  But  compel  him,  (after  you  are  sat- 
isfied he  will  not  go  square)  by  wearing  on  him  a  set 
of  pacinsj  hopples,  which  will  compel  him  to  pace  and 
do  nothing  else.  The  hopples  will  not  interfere  with 
him  in  any  way,  and  a  horse  can  pace  a  mile  in  2.12 
with  a  set  of  hopples  on,  if  he  has  got  that  amount  of 
speed. 

The  hopples  you  will  expect  some  information  about, 
so  I  will  describe  them  to  you  :  They  are  the  same  as 
used  on  trotters,  only  applied  differently.  You  hopple 
the  front  and  hind  leg  together  on  the  same  side,  instead 
of  crossing  them  as  in  case  of  a  trotter,  you  would  like 
to  square.  You  can  take  up  the  strap  that  connects 
the  front  and  hind  leg  together,  so  the  horse  c^in  just 


APPENDIX.  187 

commence  to  bend  his  knee  as  the  connecting  line 
becomes  taut,  which  will  incline  him  to  move  the  hind 
leg  at  the  same  time  ;  in  fact,  he  must  do  so,  as  he  can 
do  nothing  else.  Xow  jog  him  with  these  hopples  on 
whenever  yoii  drive  him,  and  when  he  gets  to  going  a 
good  clip,  you  and  he  will  discover  that  he  can  not 
change  legs,  and  must  from  necessity  go  square.  The 
hopples  should  be  made  nicely,  and  covered  with  lamb's 
skin,  wool  outside,  and  take  particular  pains  and  see 
that  they  do  not  chafe  him,  as  that  will  irritate  him 
and  perhaps  defeat  the  object  you  have  in  view.  You 
will,  of  course,  as  your  horse  increases  his  stride,  regu- 
late the  connecting  line  of  the  hopples  to  correspond. 

In  shoeing  pacers,  light  shoes  made  from  steel,  both 
frorit  and  hind,  are  what  are  used  by  men  who  under- 
stand their  business,  in  ordinary  cases,  but  always  steel 
shoes,  for  the  reason  that  it  may  be  necessary  to  have 
the  shoe  so  light,  that  a  shoe  made  trom  iron,  would  not 
be  stiff  enough,  to  stay  where  it  is  nailed,  and  would 
spring,  and  shortly  unbalance  your  horse.  There  is  no 
rule  as  to  iceight  of  shoes,  either  for  pacers  or  trotters, 
but  as  light  shoes  as  can  be  used  to  advantage,  are  now 
adoj^ted  by  all  first-class  mechanics,  who  take  their 
horses  through  long,  and  arduous  campaigns,  and  I 
believe  for  front  feet  bar  shoes  are  the  proper  thing,  for 
reasons  set  forth  in  a  former  chapter  of  this  work. 

There  is  a  work  entitled  "  Eussell  on  Horseshoeing" 
that  contains  more  sound  information  upon  the  subject 
generally  than  any  work  in  print,  and  the  author  I 
know  is  a  practical  shoer,  and  well  known  as  such. 
The  work  I  take  pleasure  in  recommending.

BOUGERY'S   ^^IXE    RULES 

FOR    MAKING    MONEY    WITH    A    TROTTER. 

[Written  for  "Hatseed"  by  James  Dou^ery,  driver  of  Amelia  C,  2.21J4; 
Stephen  G.,  2.203^;  Joker,  2.22j/^ ;  Breeze  Medium,  2.2J»4  ;  and  other 
winners.] 

Mechanicsville,  N.  Y.,  Dec.  17,  1884. 
Friend  Dodge, 

Plftsfield,  3rass.  : 

Yours  received  and  noted.  You 
say  you  want  me  to  write  on  one  of  four  subjects  that 
you  mention  for  "Hayseed."  I  will  write  on  the  last 
one  3'ou  mention,  viz. :  "How  to  make  money  with  a 
trotter." 

First.     Get  the  trotter. 

Second.     Keej)  it  to  yourself. 

Third.     Skin  every  one  you  can  with  him. 

Fourth.  Have  no  one  in  with  you  unless  you  know 
he  is  on  the  level. 

Fifth.  After  you  have  found  such  a  man,  don't  say 
a  word  to  any  one  else  about  it. 

Sixth.  Never  show  your  horse  to  any  man  but  the 
one  who  is  in  with  you. 

Seventh.  Xever  start  him  in  a  race  until  you  know 
what  he  can  do.  Then  you  will  know  how  to  ^^ play  " 
him. 

Eighth.  Never  i)lay  him  to  win  until  you  find  out 
you  can. 

Ninth.  Xever  deceive  an  owner,  but  skin  every  one 
else. 

If  you  follow  the  above  directions  and  do  not  make 
money,  I  have  no  idea  how  you  can. 
Yours  truly, 

James  Dougery.

TESTIMONIALS. 


Toledo,  O.,  Feb.  10,  1885. 
I  HAVE  used  Smeall's  Le^  and.  Body  Wash  upon 
Toledo  Girl,  pacing  record  of  2.26^,  and  can  say 
that  it  is  the  hest  preparation  ever  offered  the  horse- 
owning  public,  in  my  judgment,  and  no  trainer's, 
outfit   is  complete  without  it. 

J.  A.  Anson,  Owner. 


Toledo,  O.,  Feb.  16,  1885. 
I  HAVE  used  Smeall's  Camphorated  Leg  and  Body 
Wash  and  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  it  is,  in 
my   judgment,  the  best  and  cheapest    article  ever 
offered  the  public  for  the  purpose  it  is  designed.

Owner  of  Lady  Mack,  Pacing  record  2.25^. 


Chicago,  III.,  Feb.  20,  1885. 
I  have  used  the  Camphorated  Leg  and  Body  Wash, 
prepared  and  sold  by  the  Smeall  Horse  Eemedy  Co.^ 
of  Toledo,  O.,  and  can  say  that  rr  has  no  equal,  and 
will  be  found  the  cheapest  of  any  preparation  for 
the  purpose.  Ben  Walker,

The  preparations  advertised  in  this  work  by  "The 
Smeall  H(jrse  Eemedy  Co.,"  of  Toledo,  Ohio,  we  can 
vouch  for  respecting  the  merits  of  each,  and  a  trial 
of  either  will  not  fail  to  convince  anj^  horseman  of 
their  value.  Hayseed  Company.
